Function test




- Ignition on.

Hint: The inner antennas are connected to the same driver circuit in the keyless vehicle module (KVM).

Check the inner 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 - DONE

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

Checking the wiring




- Ignition off.
Check the wiring for each antenna. Check for damage. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Measure the resistance between an antenna terminal and the ground terminal for the keyless vehicle module (KVM). Twist and turn the connectors and cable harness to establish the source of the intermittent faults.
The resistance must be infinite.
Remedy as necessary.
If no faults are found in the wiring to an antenna which displayed a fault, replace the antenna.
