Conditions for Running the DTC

The message received from remote control door lock transmitter is programmed to the BCM, but did not pass the sumcheck security test.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The remote control door lock transmitter is out of synchronization with the BCM. This can be caused by the remote control door lock transmitter buttons being pressed more than 256 times out of range of the BCM. It can also be caused by changing the battery in the remote control door lock transmitter and pushing the buttons more than 10 times out of range of the BCM. This malfunction could also be caused if the message has an error due to noise from the surrounding environment or the remote control door lock transmitter is defective.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
