B10D9:87, B10E6:11, or B10E6:12


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 112 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions


REFER to: Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - System Operation and Component Description (419-01C Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - Vehicles With: Keyless Entry and Push Button Start, Description and Operation).

The RFA module supplies voltage to the PATS transceiver. If the RFA module does not detect a passive key from the PATS antennas, it activates the PATS transceiver as a backup to try and detect a programmed passive key. The RFA module also activates the PATS transceiver for key programming procedures. The RFA module starts the key interrogation sequence by supplying voltage to the transceiver. Once the PATS transceiver is powered up, the RFA module generates a signal to the transceiver on the transmit circuit. When the transceiver receives the signal from the RFA module, it reads the PATS key and generates a challenge response to the RFA module signal and sends this response on the receive circuit.



  RFA Module DTC Fault Trigger Conditions


  DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B10D9:87 PATS Transponder: Missing Message Sets when the RFA module does not receive a response from the PATS transceiver.
B10E6:11 PATS Power Supply: Circuit Short To Ground Sets when the RFA module detects a short to ground from the PATS transceiver voltage supply circuit.

REFER to: Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - System Operation and Component Description (419-01C Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - Vehicles With: Keyless Entry and Push Button Start, Description and Operation).

When the ignition transitions out of off, the RFA module checks the PCM ID and compares it with the PCM ID that is stored in the RFA module memory. If the RFA module does not receive the PCM ID or the ID is invalid, the PATS is enables and does not allow the engine to start.



  RFA Module DTC Fault Trigger Conditions


  DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
U0167:00 PATS Enable Status: Signal Compare Failure Sets when the RFA module does not receive the expected target ID from the PCM over the HS-CAN . The target ID is only sent one time per ignition cycle and is sent within milliseconds of the ignition transitioning out of off.
U0426:00 Lost Communication With ECM/PCM "A": Missing Message Sets when the RFA module does not receive the expected target ID from the PCM over the HS-CAN . The target ID is only sent one time per ignition cycle and is sent within milliseconds of the ignition transitioning out of off.


Possible Causes


PINPOINT TEST G : U0167:00 OR U0426:00
G1   CHECK THE BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE
  • NOTE: It may be necessary to check battery voltage while cranking the engine to make sure battery voltage is not dropping too low and causing the concern.

    Perform the Battery Condition Test.
    REFER to: Battery (414-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables, Diagnosis and Testing).

Did the battery pass the Battery Condition Test?

Yes GO to G2
No RECHARGE or REPLACE the battery.
REFER to: Battery (414-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables, Removal and Installation).


G2   CHECK FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE RFA (REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR) MODULE
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the network test.

Does the RFA module respond to the diagnostic scan tool?

Yes GO to G3
No
REFER to: Communications Network (418-00 Module Communications Network, Diagnosis and Testing).


G3   CHECK FOR RFA (REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the RFA module self-test.

Are any RFA module Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?

Yes REFER to the RFA Module DTC Chart in this section.
No GO to G4


G4   RECHECK THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE SELF-TEST
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the PCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
  • Wait 10 seconds.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PCM self-test.

Is DTC U0167:00 or U0426:00 still present?

Yes GO to G5
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition


G5   CHECK FOR CORRECT RFA (REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR) MODULE OPERATION
  • Disconnect and inspect all of the RFA module connectors.
  • Repair:
    • corrosion (install new connectors or terminals, clean module pins)
    • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
    • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
  • Reconnect all the RFA module connectors and make sure they seat and latch correctly.
  • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new RFA module.
REFER to: Remote Function Actuator (RFA) Module (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Removal and Installation).
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. Address the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
