Grand Caravan V6-201 3.3L (1994)
Keyless Entry Transmitter: Technical Service Bulletins
Remote Keyless Entry - Transmitter Malfunction
NO.: 08-51-93
GROUP: Electrical
DATE: Oct. 15, 1993
SUBJECT:
Remote Keyless Entry System
MODELS:
1994 (AS)
Caravan/Grand Caravan/Caravan CV
Voyager/Grand Voyager/Town & Country
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Some vehicles may require the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter button(s) to be repeatedly depressed to obtain a response from the system.
NOTE:
AS-BODY VEHICLES RESPOND DIFFERENTLY TO RKE INPUTS WHEN COMPARED TO THE SIMILAR SYSTEM USED PREVIOUSLY
ON AC/AY-BODY VEHICLES. AS-BODY VEHICLES HAVE A SHORT DELAY AFTER A RKE TRANSMITTER BUTTON IS DEPRESSED
BEFORE EITHER THE ILLUMINATED ENTRY OR HORN CHIRP IS ACTIVATED. THIS DELAY IS NORMAL FOR AS-BODY VEHICLES
BUT DID NOT OCCUR ON PREVIOUS AC/AY-BODY VEHICLES.
DIAGNOSIS:
Open the transmitter case to access the batteries. If a white pentastar is NOT readily visible on the printed circuit board, perform the repair procedure. If
the printed circuit board has a white pentastar, this TSB does not apply and the procedure outlined beginning on page 214 of the Body Diagnostic
Procedures Manual (Publication No. 81- 699-0442) should be used.
PARTS REQUIRED:

Transmitter

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
This bulletin involves replacing the RKE transmitters.
1.
Obtain two new transmitters (P/N 4469341) and verify they have a white pentastar on their printed circuit boards.
2.
Using the procedure outlined on page 8P-5 of the 1994 Town & Country, Caravan and Voyager Service Manual (Publication No. 81-370-4105)
program the RKE transmitters.
NOTE:
IN THE SPIRIT OF CUSTOMER ONE, AND IN CASE THEY WERE NOT TOLD AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY, THIS WOULD BE AN
EXCELLENT TIME TO ADVISE THE CUSTOMER THE HORN CHIRP FEATURE CAN BE CANCELED WHEN THE NEW RKE
TRANSMITTERS ARE PROGRAMMED.
POLICY:
Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty.
