7 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 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 7-1
⚫ 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.
