Self-Diagnostic System: Self-Diagnostics

  1. The remote keyless entry system utilizes a self-diagnostic system which may store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) if a problem exists in the system. DTCs may be retrieved using Next Generation Star (NGS) tester or other OBD-II compliant scan tool and Data Link Connector (DLC) for diagnosis of system. Before performing any testing, perform INSPECTION & VERIFICATION  under TROUBLESHOOTING. If inspection and verification has been performed, go to next step.
  2. Connect NGS tester to DLC located below instrument panel. Using NGS tester, perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If NGS tester displays CKT 914, CKT 915 or CKT 70=ALL MODULES NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, see MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - EXPEDITION & NAVIGATOR article to diagnose network fault. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for RAP, perform TEST D: NO COMMUNICATION WITH RAP MODULE  under SYSTEMS TESTS. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for GEM, perform TEST F: NO COMMUNICATION WITH GEM MODULE  under SYSTEMS TESTS.
  3. If NGS tester displays SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record continuous DTCs. Erase continuous DTCs. Perform self-test for GEM using NGS tester. If GEM DTCs are retrieved, see MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - EXPEDITION & NAVIGATOR article to diagnose network concern. If RAP DTCs are retrieved, see REMOTE ANTI-THEFT PERSONALITY (RAP) MODULE DTC DEFINITIONS  table to continue diagnosis. If no DTCs are retrieved, perform appropriate system test. See SYMPTOM INDEX  table under SYSTEM TESTS.
