2024 Jeep Wrangler RKE & Remote Start Range TSB
A manufacturer communication, NHTSA ID 10248889, addresses limited Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and remote start range in the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. It also covers an erroneously setting diagnostic trouble code B1A76-11 related to the remote start antenna.
Symptoms
Owners of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler may notice a significant reduction in the operational range of their Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. This means the key fob might need to be much closer to the vehicle than usual to lock, unlock, or activate the remote start function. The primary symptom is a "Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) And Remote Start Range Is Limited" condition.
Fault Codes / DTCs
This issue is often accompanied by a specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that may set erroneously. The relevant code is:
- B1A76-11: Remote Start Antenna Short To Ground Is Setting Erroneously
This DTC indicates a potential problem with the remote start antenna circuit, even if a true short to ground condition does not exist.
Diagnosis / Trigger Conditions
The manufacturer communication, NHTSA ID 10248889, highlights that the B1A76-11 DTC may be setting incorrectly. This suggests that the issue might not be a physical short circuit but rather a software or calibration anomaly causing the vehicle's electrical system to misinterpret sensor readings or signals from the remote start antenna. The limited range for RKE and remote start functions is the direct owner-perceived symptom of this underlying condition in the 2024 Jeep Wrangler.
Repair Procedure Summary
While the full repair procedure is not detailed in the summary, the nature of an "erroneously setting" DTC typically points towards a software update or a specific diagnostic routine to recalibrate the system. A qualified technician will need to diagnose the vehicle to determine if a software flash, module update, or a specific test procedure is required to resolve both the limited range and the B1A76-11 code. The goal is to correct the system's interpretation of the remote start antenna's status.
Owner Action
If you own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler and are experiencing limited Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) or remote start range, or if you have had the diagnostic trouble code B1A76-11 appear, it is recommended to contact your authorized Jeep dealership. Inform them about the symptoms and reference manufacturer communication NHTSA ID 10248889.
