The RKE transmitters and the smart junction box (SJB) use a rolling code to prevent the codes from being captured by a code grabber. The system advances the counter in the RKE transmitter and in the SJB every time a RKE transmitter button is pressed.
All RKE transmitters must be present to begin diagnosis of the RKE system.
Possible Causes
- RKE transmitter button pressed a substantial amount of times while outside the range of the vehicle
- RKE transmitter
