Test Description
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
-
A DMM must be used in this step. A test lamp may give incorrect results. Testing for B+ supply from the BCM.
-
An illuminated test lamp at step 16 reveals a short to voltage in the serial data circuit.
Step | Action | Value | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 | Press each button of the transmitter one at a time. Does the system operate normally? | -- | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | Go to Step 3 |
3 | Lock and unlock the door locks using the controls inside the vehicle. Do the locks operate properly? | -- | Go to Step 4 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Door Systems in Doors |

8 | Replace the transmitter. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 12 | |
9 | Press the PANIC button on the transmitter. Does the PANIC function operate normally? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 12 |
10 | Perform the synchronization procedure. Refer to Transmitter Synchronization . Did the horn chirp to confirm that the synchronization has been completed? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 12 |
11 | Operate the transmitter within range of the vehicle. Do all of the keyless entry functions operate normally? | -- | Go to Step 25 | Go to Step 12 |
12 |
Important: All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver must be programmed in a single programming sequence. If the system is placed in program mode it will erase all previously programmed transmitters upon the receipt of the programming signal from the first transmitter. Perform the programming procedure. Refer to Transmitter Programming . Did you hear the body control module (BCM) chime to confirm that the transmitter programming has been completed? | -- | Go to Step 25 | Go to Step 13 |
13 |
Does the test lamp illuminate? | -- | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 20 |
14 | Connect a test lamp between the battery positive voltage circuit of the RCDLR and the RCDLR ground circuit. Does the test lamp illuminate? | -- | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 21 |
Does the DMM indicate the specified value? | B+ | Go to Step 16 | Go to Step 17 | |
Does the test lamp illuminate? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 18 | ||
17 | Test the keyless entry serial data circuit for an open, high resistance, or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 25 | Go to Step 19 |
18 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the RCDLR. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 25 | Go to Step 23 |
19 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the body control module (BCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 25 | Go to Step 24 |
20 | Repair the open, high resistance , or short to ground in the battery positive voltage circuit of the RCDLR. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 25 | -- |
21 | Repair the open or high resistance in the RCDLR ground circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 25 | -- |
22 | Repair the short to voltage in the keyless entry serial data circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 25 | -- |
23 |
Important: Perform the keyless entry transmitter programming procedure when replacing the RCDLR. Replace the RCDLR. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 25 | -- |
24 |
Important: Perform the BCM programming procedure when replacing the BCM. Replace the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module Replacement in Body Control System. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 25 | -- |
25 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 3 |
