Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Remote locking and unlocking of the doors, releasing the luggage compartment lid, and activating the panic alarm is accomplished by the Smart Junction Box (SJB) receiving a command message from the RKE Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT). The IKTs and SJB also utilize a rolling code to prevent the code from being "captured" by a code grabber. The system advances the counter in the RKE transmitter and SJB every time an IKT button is pressed.
- DTC B1139 (Invalid Transmitter Identification Code) - a continuous DTC that sets when the SJB detects an invalid Transmitter Identification Code (TIC) from an IKT.
- DTC B2425 (Remote Keyless Entry Out of Synchronization) - a continuous DTC that sets when the SJB detects the rolling counter received from an RKE transmitter is 1,024 times greater than the rolling counter stored in the module.
- B109E:86 (Remote Keyless Entry: Signal Invalid) - a continuous DTC that sets when the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) detects an invalid TIC from an IKT.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- IKT
- IKT battery
- IKT button pressed a substantial amount of times while outside the range of the vehicle
- IKT programming
- SJB
