Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Function test




- Ignition on.
Check the left-hand antenna circuit by clicking on the VCT2000 symbol.









Was the function OK?

Yes - Fault-tracing information

No - Checking the wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Fault-tracing information
The keyless vehicle module (KVM) has previously registered a fault but the fault no longer exists. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) was probably caused by an intermittent fault. If the fault persists, fault-tracing according to this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) must be carried out despite no fault symptoms being found. The fault is evaluated depending on how it occurs.
You can choose to view the information again or exit the fault-tracing.

Do you want to view the information again?

Yes - Function test

No - No Fault Found

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the wiring








- Ignition off
- Disconnect the battery negative lead.
Check the connection to the control module, connection to the antenna and check the measurement on the cable to the antenna for short circuit to ground.
To check an antenna, measure the resistance between both the antenna terminals. A normal value is between 10-50ohms depending on the length of the wiring to the antenna if the reading occurs at keyless vehicle module (KVM). The value must not be 0 ohms or infinite.
Remedy as necessary.

Check the function of the outer left-hand antenna circuit by clicking on the VCT2000 symbol. The keyless vehicle module (KVM) checks the antennas and wiring.
The result should be OK.





Is the check OK?

Yes - Troubleshooting procedure complete
