Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks

If the selection is available on the scan tool (Body>Security>PATS Functions), make sure the passive entry/passive start feature is enabled. If disabled, the vehicle only starts with the key in the backup starting location.

PINPOINT TEST A : NO KEY DETECTED DISPLAYS IN THE MESSAGE CENTER

A1 CHECK FOR BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) ANTENNA DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

NOTE: If unable to program new keys, follow the diagnostics for DTC B10C8:01.

Ignition ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the BCM self-test. Record the DTC.

Ignition OFF.

Is DTC B10C7:01, B10C8:01, B11C6:01 or B11CA:01 present?

Yes

GO to A8

GO to A2

A2 CHECK IF THE PASSIVE KEYS START THE VEHICLE FROM THE BACKUP STARTING LOCATION

Place the suspect passive key in the backup starting location and attempt to start the vehicle.
REFER to: Anti-Theft Key Programming - Scan Tool (419-01B Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS), General Procedures).

Does the key start the vehicle (ready to drive displays in the message center for hybrid vehicles)?

Yes

GO to A5

GO to A3

A3 DOCUMENT THE KEY IDENTIFICATIONS USING THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) KEY ID AND RTM (RADIO TRANSCEIVER MODULE) KEY ID PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS)

Using the diagnostic scan tool, view the BCM PIDs.

Using the diagnostic scan tool, monitor the following BCM PIDs:
- TIC_01_BCM (Programmed Transmitter ID Code (TIC) Value 1)
- TIC_02_BCM (Programmed Transmitter ID Code (TIC) Value 2)
- TIC_03_BCM (Programmed Transmitter ID Code (TIC) Value 3)

Document each programmed TIC ID.

Using the diagnostic scan tool, view the RTM PIDs.

Using the diagnostic scan tool, monitor the RTM Lst_Xm_ID_Cd (Last Received Transmitter ID Code (TIC)) PID while pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the suspect key.

Document the RTM Lst_Xm_ID_Cd TIC ID displayed when pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the suspect key.

Compare the RTM TIC ID to the recorded BCM TIC IDs.

Does the RTM TIC ID match any of the recorded BCM TIC IDs?

Yes

GO to A4

No	No fault found. The key in question is not the original key that came with the vehicle.

Does the vehicle start (ready to drive displays in the message center for hybrid vehicles)?

Yes

The system is OK. INFORM the customer of the normal vehicle operation.

GO to A7

A7 CHECK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INTERFERENCE

Check for the use of consumer electronic devices that may cause interference with the passive key such as:
