#156 of 163 Re: Key-fob range [mars57] by quietpro Sep 26, 2007 (6:28 pm)
Replying to: mars57 (Sep 24, 2007 5:27 pm) My FOB range is now starting to dwindle. It's not as bad as it was prior to the service but it has diminished substantially. I would say it's down to about 75 ft. I plan to have a few things checked out together when it's convenient for me. I'll report back if I find out anything.
#157 of 163 All remote functions by sarge16 Apr 22, 2008 (11:24 am)
All remote functions, ie door lock/unlock, trunk, horn and remote start functions work. After about one minute,all remote functions stop working. Must use key to enter car. Once I put key in switch and turn on and off, all functions work. Again, after about one minute, all functions dead. dido-dido. The TPM comes on intermittent also. Before I go to the dealer, I would like some general ideas so I know what they're talking about when I take it in. .. Of course its 600 miles over warranty. Your help will be appreciated Replies to this message: quietpro (Apr 28, 2008 7:17 am)

Replying to: sarge16 (Apr 22, 2008 11:24 am) Have you checked the range of your FOBs when the system IS working? Do you have an asterisk on the back of your FOBs? What model year do you have?   It sounds as if the receiver is going bad since you're having problems with the FOB and the TPS system. Hopefully the TSB will cover you even though your warranty has expired. Let us know when you find out.

Replying to: pbaranello (Aug 22, 2007 4:23 am) Hey.I purchased an 07 Impala LT last April (demo with 5000 miles). I had the problem with the key fob issue after two months having the car. Tire pressure monitor kept reading service and I had no range on my key fob. Then in October when I went back for standard service, my service manager told me that he had to replace both key fobs, my antenna and some module. I haven't had any problems since then. If your car is still under warranty, I would take it back in and get it looked at. Hope that this helps.
#160 of 163 My range is horrible by onebigswede Nov 12, 2008 (12:26 pm)
I just bought my 2006 Chevy Impala LT this past weekend with 30,000 miles on it. Overall i love the car so far, except for the fact that the range on the remote keyless entry is horrendous! I've tested it in several different situations, and the longest range I can reach is about 50 feet - and that's if I'm lucky.   I think I may need to get the receiver replaced as so many have mentioned here. I better do it before the warranty runs out at 36k.   So when I go in, I should probably mention TSB #3764, correct?
#161 of 163 Replacement of receiver, do at home? by p62480 Mar 18, 2009 (6:08 pm)
Has anyone attempted to replace the receiver on their own? I have a copy of the TSB and could buy the antenna and receiver for around $100. The TSB I have gives directions on how to do it and they don't look to hard. Just wondering if anyone has tried it themselves and was wondering how hard it might be. I'm out of warranty and don't want to pay $730 for the dealership to do it. Replies to this message: jomu00 (Apr 07, 2009 1:55 pm) mitzij (May 08, 2009 9:26 am)

Replying to: p62480 (Mar 18, 2009 6:08 pm) I think you need a TechII to program the system after you're done replacing parts. If you have one of those, you're in like Flynn.   If you're not far out of warranty, you might appeal to your favorite dealer for a little Goodwill. They may be able to get GM to foot the bill, or part of the bill. Remember, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar. They don't owe you anything. You are asking for a favor.
