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 Verification
- Verify that the keyless entry transmitter is correct for the vehicle. This can be accomplished by comparing the part number printed on the transmitter to the appropriate part number in the parts catalog.
- If the transmitter is incorrectÂ
Replace the keyless entry transmitter.
- Go to next step: If the transmitter is correctÂ
- If the transmitter is incorrectÂ
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the remote control door lock receiver coax cable from the K77 Remote Control Door Lock Receiver and from the T23 Radio Antenna Amplifier.
- Verify the antenna coax cable passes the coax cable component test. Refer to Component Testing.
- If the coax cable does not pass the testÂ
Replace the antenna coax cable.
- Go to next step: If the coax cable passes the testÂ
- If the coax cable does not pass the testÂ
- Connect the antenna coax cable to the K77 Remote Control Door Lock Receiver, ignition ON.
- Test for greater than 4.5 V between the antenna coax cable center terminal and ground.
- If 4.5 V or lessÂ
Replace the K77 Remote Control Door Lock Receiver.
- Go to next step: If greater than 4.5 VÂ
- If 4.5 V or lessÂ
- Connect the antenna coax cable to the T23 Radio Antenna Amplifier.
- Operate the transmitter while observing the scan tool Key Fob Function parameter for the appropriate transmitter.
- Verify the scan tool Key Fob Function parameter corresponds with the function selected on the transmitter.
- If the Key Fob Function parameter does not correspond with the transmitter selectionÂ
- Replace the keyless entry transmitter.
- Operate the new transmitter while observing the scan tool Key Fob Function parameter for the transmitter.
- Verify the scan tool Key Fob Function parameter corresponds with the function selected on the transmitter.
- If the Key Fob Function parameter does not correspond with the transmitter selection, replace the K77 Remote Control Door Lock Receiver.
- Go to next step: If the Key Fob Function parameter corresponds with the transmitter selection.
- All OK.
NOTE:Before replacing the transmitter, inspect the transmitter battery contacts for any corrosion or damage. If no corrosion or damage is found, replace the transmitter battery and retest before replacing the transmitter.
- Go to next step: If the Key Fob Function parameter corresponds with the transmitter selectionÂ
- All OK.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
