This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause- harmful interfejrence, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Should interference to this system occur, try this: Check to:see if the passive feature is enabled. Check the distance. You may be too far lrom your vehicle. This product has a maximum range. Check the location. Other vehicles or objects-may be blocking the signal. Check to determine if battery replacement is. necessary. See the instructioas .on battery replacement later in this section. See your Chevrolet dealer 6r.a qualified technician for service. Changes or modifications td this system by other than an authorized service facility could void authorization to use this .equipment. .F i i+ i, .e i 1 r I ., Passive Keyless .Entry Description The Passive Keyless-Entry system, or PKE, on your Corvette is a new approach2o remote keyless entry. Unlike other systems, PKE requires no specific .action from the operator ,to unlock or lock the dams. When the passive kature is er;abled, simply approach the vehide with the .PKE trinsmitter-the system automatically disarms your vehicle's theft deterrent system and unlocks either the driver's door or both doors (depending on which unlock mode it is in). Move back aut -of range, and P-KE locks all the doas and arms the theft deterrent system. The Passive Keyless Entry system also has other useful features. The passenger - door can be unlocked by pressing. the DOOR button on the transmitter. On the. coupe, the hatch can be openqd ley pressing the HATCH button on the transmitter. In addition to these features, there is a special function that prevents thekeys from being locked in the vehicle while they are in the ignition. Your Corvette comes equipped from the facbry with one transmitter. Additional transmitters, if desired, .may be purchased though your dealer. Each transmitter is co-ded for. secu-rity, and must be ,programmed to yow vehicle before it is used. See Programming Transmitters laterin this section, Transmitter Range The Passive Keyless Entry system sen-ses the transmitter when it is within a certain-range of the vehicle. When the transmitter is' within this range, the doar(s) will unIock auto-matieally (if the passive feature is enabled), the theft deterrent system will be disarmed, -and the courtesy lights wilI be turned on (if it is dark enough outside). Transmitter ranges., as shorn in the coupe and convertibie illustrations, are as follows: Range A: .5-7 feet (.11h-2 m) Range B: 3-5 feet. (1-1% rn) Features & Controls .. . .. .. _I . . .- . .. . .. The signal of the transmitter is picked up by two antennas. On the coupe, one antenna is located in the driver's door and one is located in the rear of the luggage-area. These antennas do not require any routine maintenance I Transmitter Range (Convertible) Qn the convertible, one antenna is located in the driver's door and one- is located in the passenger's -door. These antennas do not require any routine maintenance. F i"" V' r" Transmitter Range Suggestions: The range of the Passive Keyless EMry system is very dependent on bow the transmitter is held. For opthum range hd performance, hold the transmitter vertically when approaching the vehicle. If the range gradually decreases over time even though the transiitter is held vertically, change the battery in the transmitter. The range will decrease if mure than one3ransmitter is in range at the same time. Avoid taking more than onetransmitter into vehicle range at the same time. Do not put the transmitter into a metal container, which will prevent the .signal from getting- to the vehicle. hen you move the transmitter into vehicle range, the theft deterrent system automatically disengages and the driver's door automatically unlocks.

When the system is off or me transmitter is left at home, none of the Passive Keyless. Entry features work. But you will still be able to work the manual and power locks, and arm the theft deterrent system. See the Index 'under Door Lacks, .Power Door Locks and Univerml Theft Deterrent. .. . - - Iy If you are working around your Corvette and are- keeping your keys with you, you rnight want to turn the Passive Keyless Entry system off to prevent the transmitter from activating the locks. You also might want to turn the system off if you have a passenger remaining in the vehicle. If the passenger leaves the vehicle with the dm arme.d, he or she might set it off. Enabling the Passive Keyless Entry System: To turn .the Passive Keyless Entry system: on again, simply follow steps 1 through 3'under Turning the- Passive: Keyless Entry System Off. There-are two ways to make sure that the passive feature is on. Either turn- the ignition on and check to see' that the PASSTvlE KE%LESS ENTRY light on the Driver Infomation Center comes on-for two seconds, or shut the doors. and walk away from the vehicle with the keys and transmitter.

Yes, I see that section now. I was about 7 pages ahead on pass key. I will try programming system tomorrow. Only question I still have is wouldn't the remote be working manually or are you suggesting that the fob could have some how lost its programming?

Could have happened, BUT, you may have toggled it off.
You toggle passive action on or off by depressing and holding the door button for 2-3 seconds until the locks cycle on and off. You may have inadvertently turned it off. Perhaps try that first. I would also check all door switches to make sure that they are working properly, and the hatch switch as well. Marty |

Your chime, interior lights and ignition key are all interrelated.
Once you have all of them working, I submit that the car will crank. Everything that you have stated points to the starter circuit not being energized You hear fuel and vacuum pumps, which are all activated for the start sequence. However, if you read the FSM, it specifically states that failing the anti theft protocol only prevents CRANKING. It would be great if you could determine if there is 12 plus volts going to the starter when the key is turned to start. If it is, then the percussion persuasion applied to the starter as Mark suggested likely will get you going. Although my bet is you are not getting that voltage as the VATS is preventing it. The CCM wants to see a car unlocked with the key or the remote, then interior light draw, then correct resistance in the ignition circuit. Now in the shop I do not have to do all 3 each time, but if 1,2, or 3 have NOT happened, the starter does not get energized by the CCM. You MAY, repeat MAY have done something to the CCM when you installed the battery or charged it, but I doubt that at this point. Until you have pass key, chime and interior lights, I would not be suspicious of the CCM. Also have you tried the start with both the battery and a battery box connected while turning the key? I am more suspicious of your door switches. they directly control both the chime and the interior lights, and as mentioned the CCM looks for input from those circuits. If your fuses are all good, then the switches are the next thing to look at. I am further puzzled as to why your fully charged battery died in one week. C-4's do not draw enough to do that unless something is creating such a draw. Or your battery is not as robust as you think. Did you take it for testing? And lastly, having only one key has not convinced me that there may still be an issue with the resistance. Many of these things are simple to rule out. But at this point, we have not ruled out 1- the battery 2-PKE 3 interior lights 4 key 5 key circuit. Marty |

Marty,Today tried to get remote to work but no good. Tried to reprogram following the sequence you sent me and that did not work. I didn't get any messages displayed when I started the programming. Holding the lock button down also does nothing. The door lock switches both work fine as does horn and headlights and the hatch release button works. Radio works and seats work. I do have full voltage on the 10ga red wire in the wire loom. Still no chime when keys are in the ignition and door is opened, also don't notice any interior lights when door opened. Had battery load tested and its strong, only 2 weeks old. Also put new battery in remote fob 2 weeks ago.
I have tried putting a battery charger on boost 200 amp when the old battery was in and that also didn't work. When I turn the key on it seems that all the normal lights come on for a time on the dash with the exception of security or PKE. WHAT DO YOU THINK. Thanks, Ed |

Do your interior lights light if you move the dimmer all the way beyond high to turn on the lights?

Don't know, I'm guessing that they will not just based on the fact I've never changed the setting from when they were working. I'll be back to where the car is stored on Friday and I will give it a try.
