Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
NOTE:
All FOBIKs used with this vehicle should be present during this test.

NOTE:
Verify that the battery is fully charged with a DVOM and use the scan tool to compare the Battery Voltage listed under "Data" in the RFH View to that of the BCM. If the battery is not fully charged, correct this condition before proceeding.
1. Use the alleged inoperative FOBIK, cycle/press (if equipped with Keyless Go, the KIN button) the ignition on.
  NOTE:
  On the Passive Entry Keyless Go (PEKG)/Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) system, using the rounded end of the FOBIK to press the Stop/Start button can cycle the ignition even if the battery in the FOBIK is inop.
2. With the scan tool, record and erase the DTCs.
3. Press the lock/unlock button of the alleged inoperative FOBIK several times.
4. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. The FOBIK may have already been re-syncronized by being in the vehicle while it was being driven. Inform the owner of the most probable cause for this code to set and therefore causing the FOBIK to be inoperative.
CYCLE THE IGNITION
1. With the scan tool, erase the DTCs.
2. Cycle the ignition off.
3. Put the inoperative FOBIK in the vehicle.
4. With the good FOBIK, start and drive the vehicle above five miles per hour for one mile.
5. Cycle the ignition off.
6. Operate the inoperative FOBIK in all positions several times.
7. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
  
  Yes
