Yes GO to A4 No No fault found. The key in question is not the original key that came with the vehicle. - Using the diagnostic scan tool,
- A4 VERIFY THE KEY OPERATION
- Check the operation of the suspect key.
Is the concern still present?
Yes REPLACE the suspect key. PROGRAM the new key. Refer to the appropriate key programming procedure. REFER to: Anti-Theft Key Programming - Scan Tool . No The system is OK. The concern was caused by an uncompleted programmed key. - A5 CHECK THE RKE (REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY) TRANSMITTER OPERATION
- Press the lock and unlock RKE transmitter buttons on the suspect passive key.
Do the doors lock and unlock?
Yes GO to A6 No REFER to: Locks, Latches and Entry Systems . - A6 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?
Yes The system is OK. INFORM the customer of the normal vehicle operation. No GO to A7 - A7 CHECK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INTERFERENCE
- Check for the use of consumer electronic devices that may cause interference with the passive key such as:
- other passive keys.
- a charger that is plugged in.
- a USB device plugged into the media center.
- a cell phone, speed pass or other electronic device next to the passive key.
- Remove any devices found and attempt to start the vehicle.
Does the vehicle start?
Yes INFORM the customer of the cause of the concern and the normal operation of the vehicle. No GO to A8 - Check for the use of consumer electronic devices that may cause interference with the passive key such as:
- A8 CHECK THE SUSPECT ANTENNANOTE: For a concern with key programming or if unable to start the vehicle with the passive key in the backup starting location, follow the diagnostics for the PATS front/center antenna, and keyless entry rear antenna.
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect the suspect antenna.

- A12 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 service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM, or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) . No The system is operating correctly at this time.
