Circuit/System Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 HD and 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In order to determine the best starting point to begin diagnosis first determine which features on the vehicle are functioning correctly or not. By performing a simple and quick check on the vehicle it can be determined if there is or isn't a fault in each feature. If any one part of the feature is faulty then the feature status is failed.

Match the status of all four features and go the suggested link to begin diagnosis.

NOTE:

The Front Side Door Access Control Transmitter will need to be reprogrammed in the event of BCM replacement. This can only be achieved with the master code found on the wallet card. If the master code is not retrievable, a new Front Side Door Access Control Transmitter with accompanying wallet card will need to be programmed to the new BCM.

Active Keyless Entry Verification

  1. Ignition off, stand approximately 10 meters (33 feet) from the vehicle.
  2. Verify that no other DTCs are set, as they could be the root cause of the issue.
    • Go to next step: If none of the DTCs are set 
  3. Verify the keyless entry transmitter locks and unlocks the vehicle.
    • Go to next step: If the vehicle locks and unlocks 
  4. Verify the Front Side Door Access Control Transmitter locks and unlocks the vehicle.
    • Go to next step: If the vehicle either does not lock or does not unlock 

      Go to next step: Refer to circuit system testing below.

    • Go to next step: If the vehicle locks and unlocks 
  5. All OK.
