N11 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Disconnect and inspect all the BCM connectors. Repair:

corrosion (install new connectors or terminals - clean module pins) damaged or bent pins - install new terminals pins pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the BCM connectors and make sure they seat and latch correctly. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes

CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test

and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, Click here to access Guided Routine (BCM).

No

The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.

The RKE Transmitter Is Inoperative

Normal Operations and Fault Conditions

REFER to: Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems - System Operation and Component Description (501-14 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems, Description and Operation).

A loss of synchronization of a RKE transmitter is caused when the button(s) on that RKE transmitter is pressed repeatedly on a continuous basis when the RKE transmitter is out of range from the vehicle it is programmed to. If a RKE transmitter becomes out of sync, the BCM ignores commands from that RKE transmitter.
