LF antenna power voltage
AI status
Completed
Completed
100%
Causes
- Blown fuse or tripped relay supplying antenna power
- Open or short in antenna power/ground wiring or poor connector contact
- Corroded or water-damaged LF antenna unit
- Faulty body control module (BCM) / immobilizer ECU driver output
- Low battery or intermittent battery connection causing unstable supply
- Aftermarket equipment or recent repairs damaging the harness
Symptoms
- Keyless-entry or passive entry may not detect the key near the left-front door
- Doors may not unlock/lock reliably from the key fob at left-front position
- Immobilizer or security warning lamp may illuminate or flash
- Intermittent communication or intermittent DTCs related to antenna or immobilizer
- Possible reduced functionality of convenience features tied to LF antenna
What to check
- Scan for additional related codes and note freeze-frame data
- Visually inspect LF antenna, connector and harness for corrosion, water intrusion or damage
- Check relevant fuses and relays for continuity and signs of overheating
- Measure vehicle battery voltage to confirm stable 12–14 V supply
- Backprobe antenna power and ground pins while exercising the system (key present/active)
- Check continuity between antenna connector and BCM connector; look for shorts to ground or 12V
Signal parameters
- Expected antenna supply voltage: ~11–14 V when system/ignition or antenna supply enabled
- Expected voltage near 0 V when supply is intentionally off (system inactive)
- Ground continuity: near 0 Ω between antenna ground and vehicle chassis ground
- Supply wire continuity: low resistance from BCM output to antenna connector (< a few ohms)
- No excessive ripple or intermittent dropouts when measured with key present
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve all DTCs and freeze frame data with a capable scan tool; record conditions when DTC set.
- Inspect LF antenna and harness for visible damage, corrosion, or water ingress; repair as needed.
- Verify battery voltage and check/replace any blown fuses or faulty relays in antenna/BCM circuits.
- Backprobe the LF antenna power pin while activating the system (use scan tool active tests or approach with key) and measure voltage; compare to expected range.
- Check ground at antenna connector for low resistance to chassis ground; repair poor ground connections.
- Measure continuity and resistance of the power feed and return between antenna and BCM; isolate sections to locate opens/shorts.
- If wiring and connectors are good, disconnect antenna and measure antenna unit resistance per service manual; replace antenna if out of spec.
- If antenna and wiring test good, check BCM output driver for proper operation (observe voltage output, check for shorts). Consider swapping BCM or bench-testing only if other steps fail and OEM procedures allow.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform functional test (walk-by/key approach, lock/unlock operations) and confirm code does not return.
- If intermittent, perform road/park tests and extended monitoring with scan tool to confirm repair.
Likely causes
- Blown or corroded fuse for antenna/BCM power
- Loose, corroded or disconnected connector at LF antenna
- Damaged power supply wire (open or short to ground/12V)
- Faulty LF antenna module
- BCM/immobilizer output transistor failure
Fault status
Status
LF antenna power voltage abnormal — the body control module detected the LF antenna supply voltage is outside expected range (open/short/low/high). Inspect fuses, wiring, connectors, antenna unit and BCM.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
