Common Symptoms This Service Fixes

  • Keyless entry completely stops working - door handles won't lock or unlock the vehicle
  • Push-button start (KeylessGo) system not functioning
  • Remote key fob buttons still work normally, but keyless proximity functions fail
  • Battery drains within 1-3 days when vehicle is parked, with intermittent 2A current draw every 10-60 seconds
  • "Move selector to P" warning message appearing on dashboard
  • Loss of communication with multiple vehicle systems including ABS, transmission, HVAC, and level control
  • Multiple simultaneous antenna "open circuit" faults (4-7 antennas) are symptomatic of internal Kessy module failure rather than actual antenna problems

Common Fault Codes Related to Kessy Module Failure

These are typical diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that indicate Kessy module issues:

Fault Code Description
00003 Control Module 012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit
Indicates an electrical fault within the Kessy control module circuitry
00179 Access/Start Authorization Antenna; Driver's Side (R134) - 011 Open Circuit
Driver's side door handle antenna communication failure
00180 Access/Start Authorization Antenna; Passenger Side (R135) - 011 Open Circuit
Passenger side door handle antenna communication failure
00181 Access/Start Authorization Antenna (in Rear Bumper) (R136) - 011 Open Circuit
Rear bumper antenna communication failure
00182 Luggage Compartment Access/Start Authorization Antenna (R137) - 011 Open Circuit
Trunk/tailgate antenna communication failure
00183 Interior Access/Start Authorization Antenna 1 (R138) - 011 Open Circuit
Interior cabin antenna communication failure

Important Note: When multiple antenna "open circuit" faults appear simultaneously (typically 4-7 antennas), this is almost always indicative of an internal Kessy module failure rather than individual antenna problems. The module's internal circuit board issues prevent it from communicating with the antennas, creating false open circuit codes. Replacing individual antennas will not resolve this issue - the Kessy module itself requires repair.
