Diagnostic Instructions
Circuit/System Description
The keyless entry system is a vehicle entry device. The keyless entry will unlock/unlatch the vehicle doors or open the trunk when a corresponding button on the key fob is pressed. This is accomplished by the key fob sending a radio frequency to the remote
control door lock receiver (RCDLR). The signal is received by the RCDLR via an internal antenna located within the RCDLR. The RCDLR interprets the signal and activates the requested function via a message over the serial data line. A low transmitter battery
or radio frequency (RF) interference from aftermarket devices such as 2-way radios, power inverters, cellular phone chargers, computers, etc. may cause a system malfunction. High RF traffic areas, such as gas stations which use pay-at-the-pump RF transponders,
may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction.
