PINPOINT TEST L: THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) TRANSMITTER IS OUT OF SYNCHRONIZATION


L1-L4:






Normal Operation
The RKE transmitters use a rolling code to prevent the codes from being captured by a code grabber. The system advances the counter in the RKE transmitter and in the smart junction box (SJB) every time an RKE button is pressed.

All RKE transmitters must be present to begin diagnosis of the RKE system.

Possible Causes
- RKE transmitter button pressed a substantial amount of times while outside the range of the vehicle
- RKE transmitter
- SJB
