Test K: The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Has Poor Range Performance
PINPOINT TEST K: THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) TRANSMITTER HAS POOR RANGE PERFORMANCENormal Operation
Remote locking and unlocking of the doors, releasing the luggage compartment lid, and activation of the panic alarm is accomplished by the driver door module (DDM) receiving a command message from the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter. The DDM processes the command and energizes the appropriate relays to lock or unlock the doors, open/close the luggage compartment lid, or sends a message over the standard corporate protocol (SCP) network to the lighting control module (LCM) to activate the parking lamps and horn for the panic alarm. The RKE transmitter has an operating range of 10 m (33 ft).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Aftermarket systems
- High power devices
- TV/radio transmission towers
- RKE transmitter
- RKE transmitter battery
- Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)/RKE antenna
