Pinpoint Test L: The Smart Unlock Does Not Operate Correctly

NOTE: It is possible to lock the vehicle with the keys in the ignition lock cylinder if the doors are locked with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, manually locked with the lock button on the door, or by locking the driver door with a key.

Normal Operation

The smart unlock feature unlocks the driver door if the key is in the ignition lock cylinder and the driver door is open when the vehicle is locked with the door lock control switch.

The smart unlock feature unlocks the driver door only if the Transmitter Identification Code (TIC) programming modes are not active.
