Firebird V8-350 5.7L VIN P SFI (1996)
Malfunction/Condition
The digital RF message received was from a Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter not assigned to the BCM.
Operational Effects
No remote function capability (i.e., Lock, Unlock, etc.).
Potential Causes
A Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter was used without programming it to the BCM. If the Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter was already
programmed, it may be defective.
Comments
The BCM should be put into the Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter programming mode. Both Remote Control Door Lock Transmitters must be
reassigned at the same time. Refer to Section 9K.
DTC 43 - Last Transmitter Message Received Had Sumcheck Error
Malfunction/Condition
The digital RF message received was from a Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter that is programmed to the BCM, but the message did not pass the
sumcheck security test.
Operational Effects
No remote function capability (i.e., Lock, Unlock; etc.).
Potential Causes
The Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter is not in sync with the BCM. This can be caused by the Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter buttons
being pressed more than 256 times while out of range of the BCM. It can also be caused by changing the Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter's
battery and pushing the transmitter's buttons more than 10 times while out of range of the BCM. This malfunction could also be encountered if the digital
RF message has an error due to noise from the surrounding environment or if the Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter itself is defective.
Comments
The most likely cause is the Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter out of sync with the BCM. To re-synchronize the transmitter to the BCM, press
"Lock" and "Unlock" buttons on the transmitter at the same time for 5 seconds.
