Scheme 21

Scheme 21: REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER
Scheme 21: REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER

Using special tool (special tool #9001, Rf Detector), first test to ensure that the transmitter is functioning. Typical testing distance is 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) for Asian transmitters and 30.5 centimeters (12 inches) for all others. To test, position the transmitter as shown in the illustration above. Press any transmitter button, then test each button individually. The tool will beep if a radio signal strength that lights five or more LED's is detected. Repeat this test three times. If transmitter fails any of the test. Refer to POWER LOCKS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
