Keyless Entry Door Antennas

The keyless entry door antennas are monitored by the BCM. When activated by the BCM, the antennas transmit a low frequency signal with an approximate range of 1 m (3 ft) to activate a passive key.

A valid programmed passive key must be within the passenger compartment for the PATS to detect the passive key and allow the ignition to transition out of OFF.

If a passive key is placed in the far outside edges of the interior, such as above a sun visor or in a door map pocket, the vehicle can experience a PATS concern. If the passive key is located in one of these areas and there is a PATS concern, move the passive key out of the area and attempt to transition the ignition on. If the key is outside the range of the PATS center antenna, the PATS rear antenna and the keyless entry rear antenna when the START/STOP button is pressed, the No Key Detected message displays in the message center.

The keyless entry door antennas are integrated into the front door handles.
