NOTE: The door lock actuators may or may not cycle when receiving input from the transmitter.
- If KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE RECEIVED is indicated, the transmitter is OK.
- If DIFFERENT KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE IS RECEIVED is indicated, the transmitter is working but not registered to the vehicle, if necessary, reprogram and register the transmitter (see IMMOBILIZER KEY REGISTRATION ).
- If KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE IS NOT RECEIVED is indicated, go to step 5.
Open the transmitter, and check for water damage.

Use a different known-good keyless transmitter assembly and repeat steps 3 and 4.

NOTE: The keyless transmitter does not need to be programmed to the vehicle for this test.

If DIFFERENT KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE WAS RECEIVED is indicated, replace the keyless transmitter and do the immobilizer system registration (see IMMOBILIZER KEY REGISTRATION ).
If KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE WAS NOT RECEIVED is indicated, the immobilizer-keyless control unit is faulty, replace it and do the immobilizer system registration (see IMMOBILIZER KEY REGISTRATION ).

NOTE: As the keyless transmitter is combined with the immobilizer transponder, so when the transponder is registered by the HDS, the keyless transmitter programming is completed automatically.
