    • If one or more buttons does not sound the tone and illuminate the green light, replace the transmitter battery and retest with the J 43241  . See Special Tools . If the condition continues after battery replacement, replace the transmitter.
  4. Operate the transmitter while observing the scan tool Fob Function parameter for the appropriate transmitter. The parameter should correspond with the function selected on the transmitter.

    • If the transmitter does not program, test the keyless entry coax and/or antenna for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RCDLR.
