Circuit/System Verification

NOTE: This condition may be caused by low vehicle battery voltage. If the battery is not sufficiently charged (above 10 volts), the system will have difficulties detecting the transmitter and the NO REMOTE DETECTED message will be displayed. Correct the low battery voltage condition to eliminate this condition.
  1. Verify that DTC B3119, B3120, B3121, B3122, B3123 or B3124 is not set.
    • If none of the DTCs are set 
  2. Lock the vehicle using the keyless entry transmitter.
  3. Verify that each door unlocks and opens by approaching the vehicle with a valid transmitter and operating their respective exterior door handle button.
    • If both doors unlock/unlatch and open 
  4. Verify the vehicle starts with the transmitter located in the key pocket/slot.
    • If the vehicle starts 
  5. Verify the NO REMOTE DETECTED message is not displayed on the DIC while attempting to start the vehicle, placing the keyless entry transmitter in various locations within the vehicle interior at each start attempt. The vehicle should start.
    • If the NO REMOTE DETECTED message is displayed at any time 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

    • If the NO REMOTE DETECTED message is not displayed and the vehicle starts 
  6. Inspect for any sources of RF interference such as cell phone chargers, power supplies, etc. that would interrupt transmitter and antenna communication. If inspection does not reveal any items causing RF interference, discuss with the customer the conditions or location where the NO REMOTE DETECTED condition occurs. Discuss any devices that are normally kept in the vehicle, such as a laptop or cell phone charger, which may have been removed when the vehicle was brought in for service. It may be necessary to explain to the customer how RF interference degrades the performance of the system.
