|---|
Keyless Entry Antenna Signal – Driver Door | B3119 02 | B3119 05 | B3119 05 | — |
Keyless Entry Antenna Low Reference – Driver Door | B3119 02 | B3119 05 | B3119 05 | — |
Circuit/System Description
The driver door handle antenna is located in the driver door handle assembly and is used to establish low frequency communications with the keyless entry transmitter. As a vehicle with locked doors is approached with a keyless entry transmitter and the exterior door handle button is pressed, the keyless entry control module communicates with the driver door handle keyless entry antenna.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The exterior driver door handle button is pressed within 15 min of last door closing.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3119 02
The keyless entry control module detects a short to ground on the driver door keyless entry antenna signal circuit.
B3119 05
The keyless entry control module detects a short to voltage or an open on the driver door keyless entry antenna signal circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Doors will not unlock/lock when the driver exterior door handle button is pressed.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- A current DTC will clear when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
- A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON.
- Verify DTC B3122, B3123, or B3124 is not set.
- If none of the DTCs are set
- Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the T10M Keyless Entry Antenna - Driver Door Handle, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
Note: When using the MIN MAX function, autorange on the DMM may not function properly. To ensure accurate test results, turn off autorange and manually set the DMM range to 000.0 V.
- Ignition OFF, install a DMM between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground. Set the DMM to capture DC voltage using the MIN MAX function. Turn off autorange and manually set the DMM range to 000.0 V.
- Lock the vehicle doors using the keyless entry transmitter. Activate the antenna by pressing the exterior door handle button.
- Verify the MAX voltage captured by the DMM is greater than 1 V.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
- Test for less than 1 V between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the low reference circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
Note: When using the MIN MAX function, autorange on the DMM may not function properly. To ensure accurate test results, turn off autorange and manually set the DMM range to 000.0 V.
- Install a DMM between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2. Set the DMM to capture DC voltage using the MIN MAX function. Turn off autorange and manually set the DMM range to 000.0 V.
- Lock the vehicle doors using the keyless entry transmitter. Activate the antenna by pressing the exterior door handle button.
- Verify the MAX voltage captured by the DMM is greater than 1 V.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the low reference circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
- Replace the T10M Keyless Entry Antenna - Driver Door Handle.
- Lock the vehicle doors using the keyless entry transmitter. Activate the antenna by pressing the exterior door handle button.
- Verify DTC B3119 is not set.
- All OK.
