Theory Of Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Chrysler Voyager and 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The customer may notice that the signal range of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system is reduced. This condition may be due to the RKE antenna where the RKE key fob may need to be closer than 3 meters (10 feet) before the functions available on the key fob will operate. The diagnostic test is provided as a diagnostic aid for the dealer technician.

It is necessary to confirm the correct sales code(s) are present in the Standard and Optional Equipment sections of DealerCONNECT to determine if a factory or a Mopar Accessory Remote Start kit was installed. If the vehicle has a Mopar Accessory Remote Start kit, verify that at least 20 minutes has elapsed since the sales codes were added to DealerCONNECT. Once it has been confirmed that the proper sales codes have been added and the allotted time has passed, verify the vehicle has been configured properly using the scan tool. Also, make sure that the system shows as enabled in the BCM and that the temporary remote start override is set to disabled.

For any further assistance on diagnosing the installed Mopar Accessory kit contact the Mopar Accessories group at 800-84-MOPAR (66787).
