  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Place the keyless entry transmitter in the fob pocket located within the center console.
  3. In the RCDLR output controls menu, select Active Antenna
  4. Attempt to authenticate the Active Antenna
Does the Active Antenna authenticate?
- Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems Go to Step 3 
3 At the RCDLR, measure the voltage of the Keyless Entry Active Antenna Supply Voltage circuit with a DMM.
Does the voltage equal the specified value?
0 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 7 
4 At the RCDLR, measure the voltage of the Keyless Entry Active Antenna Data Signal circuit with a DMM.
Does the voltage equal the specified value?
0 V Go to Step 5  Go to Step 8 
5 At the RCDLR, measure the voltage of the Keyless Entry Active Antenna Clock Signal circuit with a DMM.
Does the voltage equal the specified value?
0 V Go to Step 9  Go to Step 6
