Keyless Entry Transmitter: Testing and Inspection

1. Replace the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter batteries as described. Test each of the transmitter functions. If OK, discard the faulty batteries. If not OK, go to Step 2.
2. Perform the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming procedure with the suspect transmitter and another known good transmitter using a DRB scan tool, as described in the proper Diagnostic Procedures.
3. Test the RKE system operation with both transmitters. If both transmitters fail to operate the power lock system, use a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures for diagnosis of the RKE system. If the known good transmitter operates the power locks and the suspect transmitter does not, replace the faulty transmitter.

NOTE: Be certain to perform the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming procedure again following this test. This procedure will erase the access code of the test transmitter from the RKE receiver.

Battery Replacement
To replace the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter batteries, separate the transmitter case halves at the center seam by prying gently with a trim stick, or other suitable wide, flat-bladed tool. The case snaps open and shut.

Replace the two batteries with new Duracell DL2016, or their equivalent. Be certain that the batteries are installed with their polarity correctly oriented. Then, align the two transmitter case halves with each other, and squeeze them firmly together until they snap back into place.

Programming
To program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter access codes into the RKE receiver in the Central Timer Module (CTM) requires the use of a DRB scan tool.
