A11 CHECK DOOR LOCK POWER CIRCUITS
-
Confirm receiver assembly and GEM module as well as the all doors lock relay, all doors unlock relay and driver's door unlock relay are
disconnected.
-
Jumper battery voltage to common contact (Pin 3) of all doors lock relay connector and jumper ground (Pin 4) to common contact (Pin 3) of the
all doors unlock relay connector.
Do door lock motors lock?
Yes
CHECK and REPLACE relays by placing known good relays in place of door lock and unlock relays.
No
Repair circuits 117(PK/BK) and/or 118 (PK/O) for shorts or opens. REPLACE door lock relays only if required following wiring repairs. If

B: Transmitter/Remote Entry Inoperative
B: TRANSMITTER/REMOTE ENTRY INOPERATIVE
Remote Entry range may be affected when operated within a quarter mile of some radio or TV towers. Although the range is reduced at these locations,
the owner should still be able to enter their vehicle using the remote transmitter. A special transmitter TIC/DATA menu is available on NGS Testers
November 1994 and later. A receiver assembly on vehicles made before February 1995 will respond to this menu but will have diagnostic
communication ending only a few seconds after entering the menu.

B4 ANTENNA CHECK
-
Confirm that while testing for 10 meters/yards range of remote entry system that the vehicle is more than .8 km (1/2 mile) away from radio or TV
towers. If closer than .8 km (1/2 mile) away from a TV or radio tower, a 5 meter/yard range is acceptable.
-
Check to see if the antenna connecting to the receiver assembly module is fully seated or is missing.
-
Connect antenna or press it fully into receiver assembly.
