Circuit/System Description

When a transmitter authentication is requested, the front console, rear console, and rear compartment antennas
simultaneously broadcast a challenge within the passenger compartment to the transmitter. If the response from
the transmitter via radio frequency (RF) is a valid response, the body control module (BCM) determines there is
a transmitter within the vehicle. If no response is received, the BCM determines that no transmitter is in the
vehicle, and NO REMOTE DETECTED will be displayed on the DIC.

Diagnostic Aids

A low transmitter battery or radio frequency (RF) interference from aftermarket devices such as 2-way radios,
power inverters, cellular phone chargers, computers, 12 V power outlet USB converters, etc. may cause a
system malfunction. High RF traffic areas, such as gas stations which use pay-at-the-pump RF transponders,
may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction.

Conditions caused by external influences such are these are considered to be normal. Following this diagnostic
will not diagnose an RF interference condition. If RF interference is suspected, question the customer about the
conditions or location where the NO REMOTE DETECTED condition occurs.

KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION (ACTIVE)

Diagnostic Instructions

 Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
 Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
 Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The keyless entry transmitter is part of the vehicle key. The keyless entry system will unlock the vehicle doors
or open/unlock the rear compartment when a corresponding button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed.
This is accomplished by the keyless entry transmitter sending a radio frequency to the remote control door lock
receiver, which then sends the signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM interprets the signal and
activates the requested function. A low transmitter battery or radio frequency (RF) interference from
aftermarket devices such as 2-way radios, power inverters, cellular phone chargers, computers, etc. may cause a
system malfunction. High RF traffic areas, such as gas stations which use pay-at-the-pump RF transponders,
may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

 Unwanted or inadvertent door lock/unlock activation may be requested by the OnStar® Remote Link app.
It is possible that a customer may be unaware of account usage, result in an unwanted or phantom door
lock/unlock. If normal system diagnosis does results in an inability to verify the customer's concern,
contact Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
 If available, the EL 43241 Keyless Entry Tester may be used to diagnose a low transmitter battery or a
malfunctioning transmitter. To test, place the transmitter on the test pad of the EL 43241 and press each
transmitter button one at a time, holding each button for three seconds. If the green light on the tester does
not illuminate and a tone does not sound, first replace the transmitter battery and retest. If the malfunction
continues after replacing the transmitter battery, replace the transmitter.
 When using the EL 43241 Keyless Entry Tester, first inspect the keyless entry transmitter part number to
determine that it is the correct model for the vehicle. An incorrect part number transmitter may pass the
 test, but it will not activate the keyless entry system.
 When the vehicle key is in the ignition, the keyless entry functions are disabled from all keyless entry
transmitters.

Circuit/System Description

The keyless entry antennas are used as short range low frequency transmitters. As a vehicle with locked doors is
approached with a keyless entry transmitter and the exterior door handle button/rear closure touch pad is
pressed, the keyless entry antenna broadcasts a challenge to the transmitter in an approximate one 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. A low transmitter battery or radio frequency (RF)
interference from aftermarket devices such as 2-way radios, power inverters, cellular phone chargers,
computers, etc. may cause a system malfunction. High RF traffic areas, such as gas stations which use pay-at-
the-pump RF transponders, may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction.

Diagnostic Instructions

 Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
 Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of each diagnostic approach.
 Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

Remote vehicle start begins as a radio frequency message received by the body control module (BCM) from a
keyless entry transmitter. The BCM monitors system conditions such as content theft deterrent, hood ajar status,
and body DTCs to determine if a remote vehicle start event will occur. If conditions are determined to be
acceptable, the remote vehicle start message is sent to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors
system conditions such as engine control parameters and vehicle theft deterrent to determine if engine starting
will be allowed. If conditions are acceptable, the ECM will initiate engine starting. During the engine run time
in a remote vehicle start attempt, before the operator enters the vehicle, the ECM may discontinue engine
operation if system conditions require it or a message is received from the BCM requesting the engine be turned
OFF.

Diagnostic Aids

 Unwanted or inadvertent door lock/unlock activation may be requested by the OnStar® Remote Link
application. It is possible that a customer may be unaware of account usage, resulting in an unwanted or
phantom door lock/unlock. If normal system diagnosis results in an inability to verify the customer's
 concern, contact Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
 If the vehicle has a current DTC that illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), the cause of the
DTC must be diagnosed before proceeding with the Remote Vehicle Start Inoperative diagnostic.

learn/program button on the garage door opener receiver at their home. This button is usually located on the
receiver unit under a cover (light cover) on one end of the unit. The customer must follow the garage door
opener manufacturers instructions to program/learn the receiver to accept the Universal Home Remote System
as an authorized opener for their unit . When the receiver and the garage door opener are initially programmed
together, a code is established and a new code is created for every new transmission. The software in the
receiver recognizes the garage door opener and accepts the new code.

The garage door opener is compatible with most, but not all types and brands of transmitters.
The garage door opener is a transmitter operating between 288-434 MHz. The power and range of the
transmitter is limited to comply with laws governing the generation of radio frequency interference. The
transmitter is programmed by the user to accept the signal generated by the user's transmitters.

The garage door opener has 3 buttons that may be programmed for individual transmitter/receiver combinations
to control up to 3 garage door openers, security gates, lighting systems, etc. Each button represents a transmitter
code section of the transmitter, which operates separately from any other button, and may be considered a
separate transmitter. Operation consists of simply pressing a button to activate the corresponding transmitter.

KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (WITHOUT BTM)

The keyless entry system is a vehicle entry device. The keyless entry system is used in conjunction with the
door locks to unlock the vehicle. Keyless entry will lock/unlock the vehicle doors or open the rear compartment
lid when a corresponding button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed. This is accomplished by the
transmitter sending a radio frequency to the remote control door lock receiver antenna that has a direct link to
the body control module (BCM). The BCM interprets the signal and activates the requested function or request
the appropriate control module to activate the function via a serial data message. A low transmitter battery or
radio frequency interference from aftermarket devices, such as 2-way radios, power inverters, computers, etc.,
may cause a system malfunction. High radio frequency traffic areas, such as gas stations that use pay-at-the-
pump radio frequency transponders, may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction. Keyless entry
allows you to operate the following features:

 Door lock/unlock
 Liftgate lock/unlock, if equipped
 Trunk release, if equipped
 Power liftgate, if equipped
 Panic alarm/vehicle locator
 Remote vehicle starting, if equipped

The keyless entry system has the following components:

 Keyless entry transmitters

 Body control module
 Remote control door lock receiver

Keyless Entry Transmitters

NOTE: When the vehicle key is in the ignition, keyless entry functions from all keyless
entry transmitter are disabled.

The keyless entry transmitters are used to perform various entry functions while away from the immediate are
of the vehicle. Keyless entry functions may work at up to 20 m (65 ft) away from the vehicle. Ambient
conditions may affect the performance of the keyless entry transmitter and reduce the range at which keyless
entry functions operate. Up to eight transmitters may be programmed to a single vehicle. The keyless entry
transmitter is an integral part of the vehicle key.
OnStar® Remote Link (if equipped)

A vehicle operator may have the ability to perform some of the keyless entry functions using applications on
personal devices such as a smart phone. Unwanted or inadvertent door lock/unlock activation may be requested
by the OnStar® Remote Link application. It is possible that a customer may be unaware of account usage,
resulting in an unwanted or phantom door lock/unlock. If normal system diagnosis results in an inability to
verify the customer's concern, contact Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

Body Control Module (BCM)

The BCM is a multifunction module that operates the keyless entry system. When a radio frequency message is
received from a keyless entry transmitter, the BCM interprets this signal and performs the specific function, i.e.
door lock, door unlock, or vehicle locate.

Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

The remote control door lock receiver acts as an antenna for the keyless entry system and communicates with
the BCM through a dedicated serial data link. When a button is pressed on a keyless entry transmitter, the
remote control door lock receiver receives this signal and sends the request to the BCM. The BCM interprets
the signal and performs the specific function, i.e. door lock, door unlock, or vehicle locate.

 The ignition switch is turned to the RUN position with a valid key.

Remote Vehicle Start, if equipped

The remote vehicle start function allows engine starting while not in the vehicle. It also allows the vehicle
HVAC system and other vehicle systems to enable, providing a comfortable vehicle upon entry. The remote
vehicle start sequence begins by pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the
remote vehicle start buttons on the keyless entry transmitter. The turn signal lamps will illuminate to indicate
the vehicle has received the remote start request. Each time a remote vehicle start is performed, the vehicle
doors are locked, however they may then be unlocked/locked with the transmitter at any time. Only the first and
second vehicle transmitters are able to control the remote vehicle start function. Any additional remote
transmitters programmed to the vehicle will perform all other remote functions. Once activated, the engine is
allowed to run for 10 minutes. The remote vehicle start time may be extended by an additional 10 minutes by
again pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the remote vehicle start buttons on
the transmitter. This feature is called a remote vehicle start continue and allows a maximum of 20 minutes of
engine running. If the remote vehicle start continue is performed at 7 minutes into the initial 10 minute time-out,
a total of 17 minutes of engine running would occur. The remote vehicle start event may be suspended at any
time by pressing only the remote vehicle start button on the transmitter or by entering the vehicle and turning
ON the hazard lamps.

In between ignition cycles, only two remote vehicle start events may occur or be attempted. Once two events or
attempts have been made, future remote vehicle start events will be suspended until the vehicle is started using
the ignition.

Enable/Disable Remote Vehicle Start

Using the driver information center, remote vehicle start may be enabled or disabled as a part of vehicle
personalization. Refer to the vehicle owners manual for more information.

Hood Ajar Switch

The hood switch provides status of the hood to the BCM for remote vehicle start purposes. The switch is
integrated into the hood latch assembly.

Remote Vehicle Start Circuit Description

The BCM receives a signal from the keyless entry transmitter indicating a remote vehicle start request. A
message is then sent to the BCM which determines if a crank request message will be sent to the ECM to allow
engine starting. To determine if conditions are correct for a remote vehicle start event, the BCM will ensure the
following conditions are met:

 A valid hood ajar switch closed signal is present.

 The doors are locked.
 The hazard switch is OFF.
 The vehicle power mode is correct.
 No content theft deterrent alarm triggers are present.

When the BCM determines all conditions meet those required for a remote vehicle start event, a message is sent
via serial data to the ECM. The ECM relies on the remote vehicle start message from the BCM to enable remote
vehicle start when the crank request signal is received. If the ECM does not receive a valid remote vehicle start
message, it will not attempt to start the engine. While the ECM is in remote vehicle start mode it will suspend
engine operation if any of the following additional conditions occur:

 Vehicle speed is greater than 0

 Transmission is not in PARK
 Excessive engine coolant temperature
 Low oil pressure
 The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is commanded ON
 Engine crank time is greater than 30 seconds
 Excessive engine speed
 Accelerator pedal position too high
 Remote start timer equals 0
 Immobilizer system indicates tamper

Keyless Entry System Description and Operation - Active

The keyless entry system is a vehicle entry device. The keyless entry system is used in conjunction with the
door locks to unlock the vehicle. Keyless entry will lock/unlock a door or open the rear compartment lid when a
corresponding button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed. This is accomplished by the transmitter
sending a radio frequency to the remote control door lock receiver antenna that has a direct link to the body
control module (BCM). The BCM interprets the signal and activates the requested function or requests the
appropriate ECU to activate the function via a serial data message. A low transmitter battery or radio frequency
interference from aftermarket devices, such as 2-way radios, power inverters, computers, 12 V power outlet
USB adapters, etc., may cause a system malfunction. High radio frequency traffic areas, such as gas stations
that use pay-at-the-pump radio frequency transponders, may also cause interference that could lead to a
malfunction. Keyless entry allows you to operate the following features:

 Door lock/unlock
 Rear compartment lid release
 Illuminated entry lamps
 Panic alarm/vehicle locator
 Remote vehicle start
 Automatic window express down, if equipped. Automatic window express up, if equipped

Keyless Entry System Description and Operation - Passive

Passive keyless entry allows entry to a locked vehicle without pressing any buttons on the keyless entry
transmitter. You must only have the transmitter with you. The passive entry system use low frequency antennas
in several different areas on the vehicle to determine the location of the transmitter. When passively opening a
locked door or the rear compartment, you must have a programmed transmitter with you in your pocket, purse,
or briefcase within a one meter range.
When an exterior door handle button is pressed or the rear compartment touch pad is pressed, the BCM sends a
serial data message to the keyless entry control module directing the keyless entry control module to send a low
frequency challenge from the keyless entry antenna to the keyless entry transmitter. Because of the low
frequency, communication range is limited. The antenna will emit the challenge in a one meter range. The
transmitter must be within this range to receive the challenge. The transmitter receives this challenge and emits
it's response as an RF message, which is received by the remote control door lock receiver. If the response is
correct, entry into the vehicle will be allowed.

As a customer convenience feature, the keyless entry system will notify the driver if the transmitter has been
left in the vehicle after exiting by chirping the vehicle horn three times. This may be turned off using vehicle
personalization. Also, if the transmitter is left in the vehicle after the central door lock switch has been used to
lock the vehicle, the driver door will remain unlocked after exiting the vehicle. This is intended to prevent
locking the transmitter in the vehicle and being unable to access it.

Keyless Entry System Description and Operation - Keyless Start

The keyless start portion of the keyless entry system allows vehicle starting, having only the transmitter as your
key. The keyless start system uses low frequency antennas in three different locations on the vehicle to
determine the location of the transmitter. Multiple antennas are used to ensure complete coverage of the vehicle
interior and rear compartment. When using the keyless start system, a programmed transmitter must be in the
vehicle's interior, in the driver's pocket, purse, or briefcase.

When the ignition mode switch is pressed, the low frequency antennas emit a challenge to the keyless entry
transmitter. The transmitter receives this challenge and emits it's response as an RF message, which is received
by the remote control door lock receiver. If the response is correct, vehicle starting will be allowed. If RF
communication is interrupted, a "No Remote Detected" message will be displayed on the DIC. In these cases,
the transmitter can be placed in the transmitter pocket located in the center console, under the cupholder. The
immobilizer antenna coil is located directly beneath the transmitter pocket. Placing the transmitter in the pocket
will create a low powered coupling between the transmitter and immobilizer antenna, allowing communications
to occur and enabling vehicle starting.

The keyless entry system has the following components:

 Keyless entry integrated key/transmitter

 Driver and front passenger door antennas (part of the door handle assembly)
 Driver and front passenger door handle switches (part of the door handle assembly)
 Rear fascia antenna
 Front console antenna
 Rear console antenna
 Trunk antenna (rear compartment)
 Body control module (BCM)
 Keyless entry control module
 Immobilizer antenna coil assembly
 Remote control door lock receiver
Keyless Entry Transmitters

By operating any of the exterior door handle buttons, a nearby transmitter is challenged by a keyless entry
antenna. The transmitter will send an RF response to the remote control door lock receiver, which
communicates with the BCM. The BCM will interpret this communication and either allow entry into the
vehicle or deny it.

Door Antennas

The keyless entry door antennas are used to transmit low frequency communications to the keyless entry
transmitters.

The keyless entry door antennas are located in the left front and right front exterior door handle bracket. The
antennas are serviced as part of the door handle assembly. The antennas are controlled by the keyless entry
control module. When the exterior door handle button is pressed, the respective antenna will send out a
challenge to the keyless entry transmitter, which begins the passive entry communications.

Rear Fascia Antenna

The rear fascia antenna is used to transmit low frequency communication to the keyless entry transmitters for
entry to rear compartment.

The rear fascia antenna is located behind the rear fascia. The antenna is controlled by the keyless entry control
module. When the rear compartment touch pad is pressed, the antenna sends out a challenge to the keyless entry
transmitter, which begins the passive entry communications.

Front Console Passive (Instrument Panel) Antenna

This antenna is located in the lower instrument panel near the front of the center console.

The front console antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is pressed, the
antenna is energized or "pinged". This emits a low frequency challenge signal that is received by the keyless
entry transmitter. The transmitter will then reply to this challenge with a response and, if correct, vehicle
starting will occur.

Rear Console Antenna

This antenna is located in the rear of the center console.

The rear console antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is pressed, the
antenna is energized or "pinged". This emits a low frequency challenge signal that is received by the keyless
entry transmitter. The transmitter will then reply to this challenge with a response and, if correct, vehicle
starting will occur.

Rear Compartment Antenna

This antenna is located in the center of the rear compartment metal floor pan, near the seatback.
The rear compartment antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is pressed,
the antenna is energized or "pinged". This emits a low frequency challenge signal that is received by the keyless
entry transmitter. The transmitter will then reply to this challenge with a response and, if correct, vehicle
starting will occur.

Immobilizer Antenna Coil Assembly

The immobilizer coil assembly is located in the center console, directly beneath the transmitter pocket. If the
transmitter battery is dead, weak, or the RF signal is being interrupted, the transmitter may be placed in the
pocket to create a low powered coupling between the transmitter and immobilizer antenna, allowing
communications to occur and enabling vehicle starting.

The immobilizer antenna coil is controlled by the BCM. The immobilizer control module is also active when
learning vehicle keys.

Keyless Entry Control Module

The keyless entry control module is a multi-function module which performs the following keyless entry system
