Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Description
The console passive antenna is located in the center console. It is used as short range low frequency (LF) antennas. The console antenna is used to determine transmitter placement within the vehicle. When a valid keyless entry transmitter is within the passenger compartment, the console antenna broadcasts a challenge within the passenger compartment to the transmitter. If the response from the transmitter via radio frequency (RF) is a valid response, the antenna will determine there is a transmitter within the vehicle. If no response is received, the antenna determines that no transmitter is in the vehicle.
