1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | Go to Step 2 | |
2 | Does the customer complain about other symptoms related to this, such as poor range when the key fob buttons are pressed or intermittent Tire Pressure Monitoring issues? (It’s possible the RF External Antenna at the RCDLR may have a poor connection.) | Go to Step 3 | Go to Step 4 |
3 | Inspect the external RF antenna connection at the RCDLR. First, gently pull on the coax connector at the module. If the coax comes out, then it wasn’t seated properly. Remove and carefully inspect the coax connection for bent blades or a bent center pin. Fix coax connection if necessary and re-seat connector until a "click" is heard. Gently pull on the coax connection to make sure it is seated properly. Was the inspection made? | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 3 |
4 | Press each button of the transmitter one at a time. Does the system operate normally? | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Lock and unlock the door locks using the controls inside the vehicle. Do the locks operate properly? | Go to Step 6 | |
6 | Operate the rear compartment release and the fuel door release from the controls inside the vehicle. Do the rear compartment release and the fuel door release operate properly? | Go to Step 7 | |
