Preliminary Procedure

  1. Verify customers complaint by operating remote keyless entry system. Check for damaged remote transmitter, or low transmitter batteries. Check for binding lock mechanisms. Check for blown fuse(s), loose or corroded connectors, or damaged wiring harness. Repair or replace components as necessary.
  2. If all components are okay, connect NGS tester to DLC located below instrument panel. Using NGS tester, perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If NGS tester displays CKT 914, CKT 915 or CKT 70=ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, see MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article to diagnosis network concern. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Driver Door Module (DDM), perform TEST B: NO COMMUNICATION WITH DDM under SYSTEM TESTING in DOOR LOCKS & TRUNK RELEASE - POWER article. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Lighting Control Module (LCM), perform TEST A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH LCM under SYSTEM TESTING in DOOR LOCKS & TRUNK RELEASE - POWER article.
  3. If NGS tester displays SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record continuous DTCs. Erase continuous DTCs. Perform self-test diagnostics for DDM and LCM using NGS tester. If DDM DTCs are retrieved, see DRIVER DOOR MODULE (DDM) DTC DEFINITIONS table to continue diagnosis. If LCM DTCs are retrieved, see LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE (LCM) DTC DEFINITIONS  table to continue diagnosis. If no DTCs are retrieved, perform appropriate symptom test under SYSTEM TESTING  .
