1. With a scan tool, observe the Key Fob Information parameter in the remote function actuation data list.
2. Press each access panel button on the transmitter one at a time.

Does the Scan Tool Data parameter show that the correct button was pressed?

Go to Step 25

Go to Step 8

Important: Inspect that the keyless entry transmitter is the correct model for the vehicle remote system. A wrong model transmitter may pass this test, but will not activate the vehicle remote system.

1. Turn on the J 43241 Keyless Entry Tester.
2. Place the transmitter on the J 43241 test pad.
3. Press each button of the transmitter one at a time.

Does a tone sound and the green light illuminate on the J 43241 after the button is pressed?
