However, there may be additional diagnosis methods at your disposal: most manufacturers will utilize self-diagnosis procedures or allow for controller interrogation with a scan tool which can support any errors found with keyless entry and keyless start.įor vehicles without self-diagnosis facilities, or where the relevant scan tool/software cannot gain controller access, the Keyless entry carrier signal detector provides essential information on whether the system is operating as it should or if there are dead zones where a key oscillator is no longer working and the key cannot be detected. The Keyless entry carrier signal detector provides a non-intrusive indication of the electrical key antenna and electrical key oscillator activity.

The detection area formed by the front door antenna and outside luggage antenna is approximately 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) from the outside handle of the front door and rear bumper.

Multiple antennae will be placed around the vehicle to ensure that the system has good coverage. If the keyless entry system detects a response from a key it will deactivate the LF radio wave signal pulsations. The pulses will trigger a response in a functioning key if it is within range. When the vehicle is locked the system uses antennae to periodically output a low frequency (LF) radio wave signal pulse. Keyless entry systems are given many alternative names but they are commonly referred to as smart entry, smart start or Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) systems.
