Circuit/System Description

The front center console antenna is located in front of the center console assembly 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 front center console antenna.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The touch pad in the driver door or passenger door handle is touched within 15 minutes of any door ajar status changing.

The last door becomes closed.

Pressing the start/stop switch.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3122 02

The keyless entry control module detects a short to ground on the front center console keyless entry antenna signal circuit.

B3122 05

The keyless entry control module detects a short to B+ or an open on the front center console 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 start/stop 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 Testing


1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the T10J center console front keyless entry antenna.

2. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.

3. If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.

4.
Note

When using the MIN MAX function, auto-range may not function on the DMM. To ensure accurate test results, turn off auto-range 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.

5. Activate the antenna by pressing the ignition mode switch. Verify the MAX voltage captured by the DMM is greater than 1.0 V.

6. If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.

7. Test for less than 1 V between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

8. If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.

9.
Note

When using the MIN MAX function, auto-range may not function on the DMM. To ensure accurate test results, turn off auto-range 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.

10. Activate the antenna by pressing the ignition mode switch. Verify the MAX voltage captured by the DMM is greater than 1.0 V.

11. If less than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open circuit/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.

12. If the test results for all circuits are normal, replace the T10J front keyless entry antenna in the center console. Verify that DTC B3122 is not set.

13. If the DTC is set, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
