|---|
Keyless Entry Antenna Signal – Rear Compartment  | B3124 02  | B3124 05  | B3124 05  | —  | 
Keyless Entry Antenna Low Reference – Rear Compartment  | B3124 02  | B3124 05  | B3124 05  | —  | 
Circuit/System Description
The rear compartment antenna is located on the rear compartment floor near the seat back, centered, and is used to establish low frequency communications with the keyless entry transmitter. When the driver attempts to change the ignition status of the vehicle, the keyless entry control module communicates with the rear compartment antenna.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Pressing the ignition mode switch.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3124 02
The keyless entry control module detects a short to ground on the rear compartment keyless entry antenna signal circuit.
B3124 05
The keyless entry control module detects a short to B+ or an open on the rear compartment keyless entry antenna signal circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Vehicle will not detect the transmitter in some locations inside the vehicle. If the transmitter is not detected then vehicle will not change ignition modes when ignition mode switch is pressed. The exterior door handle buttons will not operate the keyless entry system.
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 Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the T10E Keyless Entry Antenna – Rear Compartment, 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.
 - Activate the antenna by pressing the ignition mode switch.
 - 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.
 - Activate the antenna by pressing the ignition mode switch.
 - 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 T10E Keyless Entry Antenna – Rear Compartment.
 - Activate the antenna by pressing the ignition mode switch.
 - Verify DTC B3124 is not set.
 - All OK.
