    Hi
    I have been reading different threads on this subject but not with my conditions
    Here whats wrong
    Key Fob will not open or close doors or open trunk
    nothing wrong with fob as I checked solder points, battery new
    Doors lock when driving an unlock when exiting
    Inside door lock control works
    Fuse OK #11 in trunk
    Recycled the key to reprograme the locks OK

    The car had neen in the body shop for about a 1,5 weeks an I had to reboot some alarms on the dash, ETC an engine light
    Put it on a diagnostic tool and found the ETC an transmission signal codes an deleted those.

    Any ideas

    What were the code #'s, like PXXXX? That will help determine what sensor isn't hooked up, simply clearing them doesn't solve the problem.

    You may have lost the programming for the key fob? Dealer with StarScan may be your only option???

    Hate to say it...but it sounds like it is a fob issue.

    From the sounds of it, either the key fob is bad...or like Ron said, the programming got "lost".

    I have tried the EVIC system but no matter how many times I cycle I see no codes, watched my local garage do it with there diagnostic system, but I did not pay atten to codes an he saw nothing other then ETC (which I knew was there) and tranmission signal error, but nothing else.
    Guess it looks like the stealership:(

    That might be the next thing to try but... I sort of remember that the TPM system and the security stuff is all in the same software module. Although I kind of doubt that just a particular bit of code got reset or something... I'll look it up later. Got a meeting with the boss right now.

    I am glad you got your problem figured out.

    WTH kinda key do you have? Some kinda super top secret security key that shoots lazers and stuff. It does NOT take 3 hours to program a key. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Bad Stealership! :domotwak:

    Ahhh, so the remote start thing must be sitting inbetween the key fob and the PCM (probably does the RF part too). That would mean that it had nothing to do with anything internal to the PCM which means... your TPM system still isn't working?

    Strange? I walk out this morning, go to unlock doors and nothing happens? WTF? Look at fob, look at car, WTF? Run and grab the wife's keys, go back to car and try to unlock door and same thing! Nothing! WTF? Scratch head in puzzlement and say WTF again! Hmmm, so i open the door with the key! next thing you know the alarm is going off? WTF? Put key in ignition and notice nothing happening. Such as beeping, buzzing or any indicator lights. WTF? Alarm is still going? Turn key to start and alarm shuts off, but car dont start! WTF?
    Ok, dead battery? WTF? Its a optima! So be the case, go to grab the booster cables out of minivan and WTF? They not there! WTF? At this point, i am saying more then WTF! Run to the store and buy another set of cables(other one disappeared and were only a few months old). Get home, grab cables, close door, hook everything up and go to get back in the van, well....WTF? I locked myself out with the van running! WTF? Good thing i had the wife's van key too!
    Point is hopefully this makes you feel better! I have no idea why the batter died but i got cables now! LMAO! :stars:
