KEYFOB Transmitter: Notes

Use a Radio Frequency Detector such as special tool # 9001, or equivalent, to confirm that the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is functioning. Typical testing distance is 30.5 centimeters (12 inches).

1. Position the transmitter the appropriate distance from the special tool.
2. Depress any transmitter button, then test each button individually. The special tool will issue an audible beep tone if a satisfactory radio signal strength that lights five or more Light Emitting Diode (LED) units is detected.
3. Repeat Step 2 three times. If the transmitter fails any of the signal strength tests, use a diagnostic scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information to complete further diagnosis.
