RKE Program Mode Entered W/O Program Request Trouble Code

NAME OF CODE
RKE Program Mode Entered Without Program Request

WHEN MONITORED
Continuously

SET CONDITION
BCM receives an indication from the RKE module that it has entered program mode without the BCM requesting so.

THEORY OF OPERATION
There are two communication lines between the BCM and the plug-on RKE module: a data line, from the RKE to the BCM, and a program line, from the BCM to the RKE module. The normal operation is for the BCM to pull down on the program line and the RKE will respond that it has entered program mode. This fault is set if the RKE indicates that it has entered program mode without the BCM pulling down on the program line.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Failed RKE module
^ Failed BCM

NOTE: There are no wires to be cut or shorted; the two connectors connect directly to each other.
