2010 Saturn Vue XE, 3.5 NSECTION Circuit/System Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

The diagnostic assumes the transmitter worked with the vehicle at one time.

  1. Place the transmitter on the J 43241  Keyless Enter Tester test pad and press each transmitter button one at a time. The tester should sound a tone and illuminate a green light with each button press.
    • If one or more buttons do not function, replace the transmitter battery and retest with the J 43241  Keyless Enter Tester. If the condition continues after battery replacement, replace the transmitter.
  2. Operate the transmitter function while observing the vehicle. The vehicle should perform each of the corresponding functions selected on the transmitter.
    • If any function does not work, program the keyless entry transmitter, refer to Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter Learn . If any function still does not work after reprogramming, replace the transmitter. If any function still does not work after replacing the transmitter, replace the RCDLR.
