  2. If RKE system is inoperative from both transmitters, go to next step. If RKE system is inoperative from one transmitter, go to step  8 .
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module connector. See Figure . Using DVOM, measure voltage between RFA module connector terminal No. 1 (Orange wire) and ground. If battery voltage is indicated, go to next step. If battery voltage is not indicated, go to step  5 .
  4. Using DVOM, measure voltage between RFA module connector terminals No. 1 (Orange wire) and No. 4 (Black wire). If battery voltage is indicated, go to step  7 . If battery voltage is not indicated, go to step  6 .
  5. Repair open or short to ground in Orange wire between RFA module and rear fuse block. Recheck system operation.
  6. Repair open in Black/White wire between RFA module and ground. Recheck system operation.
  7. Replace RFA module. See REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR (RFA) MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Recheck system operation.
  8. Replace transmitter battery in faulty transmitter. Recheck system operation. If RKE system is still inoperative, go to next step.
