Hi,
The first thing I suggest is to try reprogramming the system. Here are the directions:
REMOTE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING
NOTE: All keyless entry remote transmitters (15K601) must be programmed at the same time.
Programming (or reprogramming) the keyless entry remote transmitters into the generic electronic module (GEM), Perform the following steps.
1.Turn the ignition from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN. If the vehicle security module has successfully entered the program mode, it will lock and unlock all the doors.
2. Press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter, and the doors will lock then unlock to confirm that each keyless entry remote transmitter has been programmed.
3. If the door locks do not respond for any keyless entry remote transmitter, wait for several seconds and press the button again.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up to five minutes after Step 1, to exit program mode. If a keyless entry remote transmitter has been programmed (or reprogrammed), the GEM will unlock all the doors one last time.
