The Vehicle Does Not Start With The Passive Key In Certain Areas Within The Vehicle But Starts Using The Passive Key Backup Location
- A1 CHECK THE PASSIVE KEY LOCATION
- Check the location of the passive key. If it is placed in the far corners of the interior of the vehicle, move the passive key out of these areas and attempt to start the vehicle.
Does the vehicle start (ready to drive displays in the message center for hybrid vehicles)?
- Yes : The system is OK. INFORM the customer of the normal vehicle operation.
- No : GO to A2
- A2 CHECK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INTERFERENCE
- Check for the use of a charger or other wireless device that can cause interference with the passive key. If any device is found, remove the device and attempt to start the vehicle.
Does the vehicle start (ready to drive displays in the message center for hybrid vehicles)?
- Yes : The system is OK. INFORM the customer of the normal vehicle operation.
- No : GO to A3
- A3 CHECK THE SUSPECT ANTENNA NOTE: For a concern with key programming or if unable to start the vehicle with the passive key in the back up slot, follow the diagnostics for the PATS center antenna.
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the BCM self-test. Record the DTC .
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect suspect antenna.
- Measure:PATS CENTER ANTENNA (DTC B10C8:01)

Is the resistance between 1 and 3 ohms?
- Yes : GO to A4
- No
: INSTALL a new antenna in question. For the PATS
center antenna,
REFER to: Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Center Antenna .
For the keyless entry rear antenna,
REFER to: KEYLESS ENTRY REAR ANTENNA .
For either front door exterior handle, REFER to: EXTERIOR FRONT DOOR HANDLE .
- A4 CHECK THE SUSPECT ANTENNA CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Disconnect BCM C2280G (center PATS antenna).
- Disconnect BCM C2280E (keyless entry rear antenna or exterior front door handle).

Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?
- Yes
: INSTALL a new antenna in question. For the PATS
center antenna, INSTALL a new PATS
center antenna.
REFER to: Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Center Antenna .
For the keyless entry rear antenna, INSTALL a new keyless entry rear antenna. REFER to: KEYLESS ENTRY REAR ANTENNA .
For either front door exterior handle,
REFER to: EXTERIOR FRONT DOOR HANDLE .
TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern is still present, GO to A7
- No : REPAIR the affected circuit.
- Measure:
- A7 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all of the BCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connectors or terminals, clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect all the BCM connectors and make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes
: CHECK OASIS
for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB
exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB
instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM
.
REFER to: BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) .
- 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.
