Normal Operation

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.
