Circuit/System Description

The RF door handle antenna is located in the right front door handle assembly and is used to establish low frequency (LF) communications with the

keyless entry transmitter. As a vehicle with locked doors is approached with a keyless entry transmitter, known as an electronic key, and the

exterior door handle is activated, the keyless entry antenna broadcasts a challenge to the transmitter in an approximately 1 meter range. If the

response from the transmitter via radio frequency (RF) is valid, the locked door will be passively unlocked/unlatched and allow the door to be

opened.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The right front door handle is pulled.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

An improper current level is seen on the keyless entry antenna - signal (5) circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

No action is taken.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC will clear when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.

* A history DTC will clear after 50 malfunction free ignition cycles.
