Pinpoint Test Procedures

  1. Disconnect keypad and Gray connector. Check circuit corresponding to the failing button for short to ground (100K ohms or less) between Gray module connector. See KEYPAD INPUT TEST  table. If short is found, go to step 3). If no short is found, go to next step.
  2. Disconnect Gray module connector. Check for short between malfunctioning button and Gray or Brown connector on circuit No. 124 (Brown wire). If no short is found, go to step 4). If short is found, replace keypad and repeat QUICK TEST  .
    KEYPAD INPUT TEST

    Key Circuit No. Pin No.
    1/2 78 3
    3/4 79 4
    5/6 121 5
    7/8 122 6
    9/0 123 7
  3. Remove door trim panel. Disconnect keypad connector. Check circuit corresponding to malfunctioning button for resistance of less than 100K ohms between keypad connector and ground. If resistance to ground or circuit No. 124 (Brown wire) is low, replace switch. If resistance is not low, repair harness between Gray or Brown connector and keypad connector. Repeat QUICK TEST  .
  4. With 1/2 button depressed, verify that circuit No. 124 (Brown wire) between Gray or Brown connector and keypad connector is not shorted to ground or open. If wire is okay, go to step 5). If not, repair open or short in wire and repeat QUICK TEST  .
  5. Connect module connector. Connect voltmeter between pin No. 1 of Brown or Gray connector and ground. For each button that failed to light on keypad, connect a jumper wire for 5 seconds between pin No. 12 of Gray or Brown connector and keypad pins No. 3 through 7. If readings are 5 volts or more, go to step 6). If not, replace keyless entry module and repeat QUICK TEST  .
  6. Check continuity between pin No. 5 of keypad and all remaining keypad pins. Then check continuity between pin No. 4 and all pins until all pin pairs have been checked. If all circuits are open except those between pins No. 3 and 7, go to step 7). If a short is found, replace keypad and repeat QUICK TEST  .
  7. Check continuity between pins No. 5 and 8 of keypad connector. Repeat for each key, checking continuity between corresponding pin in the table and pin No. 8. See KEYPAD INPUT TEST  table. If continuity is present, repair open or short in circuit of inoperative buttons. If continuity is not present, replace keypad and repeat QUICK TEST  .
