NO: 08-13-96

GROUP: Electrical

DATE: May 10, 1996

SUBJECT:
Remote Keyless Entry
Inoperative Due To
Radio Interference

MODELS:

1996 (ZJ) Grand Cherokee

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

The Remote Keyless Entry System (RKE) may be intermittently inoperative. The system may be receiving radio frequency interference (RFI) which can interfere with the RKE receiver located in the right hand door module. A shielded receiver has been developed for customers who frequently operate vehicles in areas where strong radio signals are present. These areas include airports, military installations and areas where commercial radio towers are present. If customers complain that the RKE is inoperative when the vehicle is operated in specific areas but operates properly in other areas, the right hand door module should be replaced with the updated version containing the shielded RKE receiver.
