DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER

Using special tool 9001, first test to ensure that the
transmitter is functioning. Typical testing distance is
2.5 centimeters (1 inch) for Asian transmitters and
30.5 centimeters (12 inches) for all others. To test,
position the transmitter as shown. Press any transmit-
ter button, then test each button individually. The tool
will beep if a radio signal strength that lights five or
more LED’s is detected. Repeat this test three times.
If transmitter fails any of the test refer to the Diagnos-
tic Procedures information.

STANDARD PROCEDURE

STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

NOTE: Do not disturb the metal terminal near the batteries. Avoid touching the new batteries. Skin oils may

2. Lift the back half of the transmitter case off of the RKE transmitter.

3. Remove the two batteries from the RKE transmitter.

4. Replace the two batteries with new 3V lithium 2016 cell. Install the batteries with the positive terminal up. Ref-

erence the “+ SIDE UP” on the inside of the bottom half of the transmitter case.

5. Align the two RKE transmitter case halves with each other, and squeeze them firmly and evenly together until

they snap back into place. Test transmitter operation.
