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.
Checking The Wiring
- Ignition off.
Check the wiring for each antenna. Check for damage. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Measure the resistance between an antenna terminal and the ground terminal for the keyless vehicle module (KVM). Twist and turn the connectors and cable harness to establish the source of the intermittent faults.
The resistance must be infinite.
Remedy as necessary.
If no faults are found in the wiring to an antenna which displayed a fault, replace the antenna.
