Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD ILLUMINATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Check the keyless entry keypad illumination.

    Is the keyless entry keypad illumination always on? 

    • Yes: GO to  8.
    • No: GO to .
  2. CHECK THE KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD INPUT TO THE RFA MODULE
    1. Using a scan tool, monitor the RFA module PIDs  .
    2. Touch several keyless entry keypad buttons while observing the RFA module PIDs  Keypd_SW_1_2, Keypd_SW_3_4, Keypd_SW_5_6, Keypd_SW_7_8 and Keypd_SW_9_0.

    Do the PIDs display the correct values? 

  3. CHECK THE RFA MODULE DTCs  FROM THE SELF-TEST
    1. Using a scan tool, perform the RFA module self-test.

    Is DTC B121A:11 present? 

    • Yes: GO to .
    • No: GO to  6.
  4. CHECK THE KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
    1. Disconnect: Keyless Entry Keypad.
    2. Using a scan tool, clear the RFA module DTCs  .
    3. Using a scan tool, perform the RFA module self-test.

    Is DTC B121B:11 recorded? 

  5. CHECK THE KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD ILLUMINATION CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: RFA Module C2153D.
    3. Measure:
      Keyless Entry Keypad Ground
      G08040735
      G08040736
      C500 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      2 CPK28 (WH/RD)
      G08040737
      - Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    • Yes: GO to  9.
    • No: REPAIR the circuit.
  6. CHECK FOR RFA MODULE OUTPUT
    1. Using a scan tool, view RFA module PIDs  .
    2. While active commanding the RFA module PID KEYPD_LMP_OS ON, measure:
      Keyless Entry Keypad Ground
      G08040738
      G08040739
      C500 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      2 CPK28 (WH/RD)
      G08040740
      - Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

  7. CHECK THE KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD ILLUMINATION CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: RFA Module C2153D.
    3. Measure:
      Keyless Entry Keypad RFA Module
      G08040741
      G08040742
      C500 C2153D
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      2 CPK28 (WH/RD)
      G08040743
      10 CPK28 (WH/GN)

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    • Yes: GO to  9.
    • No: REPAIR the circuit.
  8. CHECK THE KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD ILLUMINATION CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
    1. Disconnect: RFA Module C2153D.
    2. Ignition ON.
    3. Observe the keypad illumination.

    Is the keypad still illuminated? 

    • Yes: REPAIR the circuit.
    • No: GO to .
  9. CHECK FOR CORRECT RFA MODULE OPERATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect and inspect all RFA module connectors.
    3. Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    4. Reconnect all RFA module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    5. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes: CHECK OASIS  for any applicable TSBs  . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs  address this concern, INSTALL a new RFA module. REFER to REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR (RFA) MODULE .
    • No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
