Condition
A customer may comment they have a No Crank / No Start condition with a "No Fob
Detected" message on the DIC. The RKE key fob will also not be detected in the
backup pocket. Key fobs will work actively (button press) but not passively. There are
no current passive antenna or Immobilizer DTC’s set in the BCM. The vehicle will
have battery power (battery state of charge above 12 volts) but will not power mode
to the RUN or Accessory position which will not allow the transmission to be shifted
from park. Also, the parking brake may be engaged and not be able to be released.
Cause
It has been determined that an internal BCM fault causes the fobs to not be
recognized and loss of immobilizer.
Correction:
If you encounter a vehicle with the above concern, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that the Active RKE functions are working for all transmitters (example: Locking/Unlocking/Horn/Trunk
and Remote Start).
2. Verify ALL Passive RKE functions are inoperative for both transmitters.
3. Verify Low Frequency (LF) “Passive” Antennas ARE NOT transmitting by using the Service Tool EL-52545.
4. Verify that the Transmitters ARE NOT responding to the Passive Challenge with the Service Tool EL-52545,
without pressing any buttons on the transmitters.
5. Is the vehicle's battery above 12V?
6. There should be no current antenna or immobilizer DTC’s set in the BCM.
7. With both transmitters outside of the vehicle, attempt to change the power mode by pressing the start stop
switch once every 3 seconds, 5 times. Check for DTC’s in the BCM. There should be no current antenna or
immobilizer DTC’s set after performing this step.
If questions 1-7 can all be answered as “YES”, replace the BCM.
Refer to Service Information / Keyless Entry System Malfunction (Example Document ID: 5606149) for additional
diagnostic procedures.
NOTE: It may be possible to recover the vehicle from this condition by performing a battery disconnect / reset,
allowing the vehicle's modules to completely power down. If the vehicle cannot be recovered and must be towed,
ensure proper towing procedures are followed including the use of wheel dollies and atbed towing. Ref: SI Doc:
5500849.
