  2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step  3.
  3. Reconnect the connector to the control unit, and perform the following input tests at the keyless door lock control unit connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step  4.
