6. RKE & RF Monitor
Today's keyless remotes -- also known as key fobs -- make life easier.
But when your key fob stops working or starts to perform sporadically,
it will be particularly frustrating. Check your key fob to make sure it is
in top condition so it will work when you really need it.
Since a key fob is attuned to a special frequency that is only detected
by the car for which it was issued, you will need to use your vehicle to
test the fob. Otherwise you will have to take it to a dealership or an
automotive locksmith to have it tested for the right frequency. But with
our TPMS tool, the key fob testing becomes easy and convenient.
1) Use the UP/DOWN scroll button and LEFT/RIGHT scroll button
to select RKE & RF Monitor from Main Menu (Figure 3.1), and
press the Y button to confirm.
2) Hold the key fob very close to the tool and press the function
buttons on key fob to test. If the button works and the key fob is
sending a signal, the tool will beep and the screen shows as below.
If the button does not work, the tool will do nothing. To make sure
each button is working properly, please test each button in turn.
Figure 6.1
The progress bar indicates the approximate power level of the
key fob.
The stronger the signal, the higher the beep tone.
The tool only tests 315MHz and 433MHz key fobs.
3) Press the N button to return to previous menu.
