Circuit Description

The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) communicates with the body control module (BCM) through the keyless entry serial data circuit. When any button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed, the transmitter sends a signal to the RCDLR. The RCDLR sends either a lock or unlock request to the BCM, depending on which button is pressed on the transmitter. The BCM receives the message and performs the appropriate function.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is at least 9.0 volts and no more than 16.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The keyless entry serial data circuit is shorted to ground.
    • The above conditions must be met for approximately 500 milliseconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The keyless entry system will not operate.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • A current DTC will clear when the fault is no longer present and the ignition switch is cycled.
    • A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
    • A scan tool may be used to clear history and current DTC(s).

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. The normal state of the input displayed on the scan tool before pressing a transmitter button is NONE.

    3.

  3. The normal state of the input displayed on the scan tool before pressing a transmitter button is NONE.

    4.

  4. Tests the signal circuit for a short to ground.
