willbail@hotmail.com Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 We just purchased a 2011 Dodge Journey. Today on the message screen it said "service keyless system". Does anyone know if this means something? It starts fine and the doors unlock. Could the batteries be going out in the Key Fob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) I think there was a tsb on that a couple years ago. Seemed to be a problem across platforms (dodge, jeep, etc). I think it required a software update from the dealer. Welcome to the forum! Edited September 4, 2014 by jkeaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 On my 2011 if the battery in the fob is weak it says in the EVIC "fob battery low". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your servicing dealer will have the diagnostic tools to review the message. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey_puck Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hey! Got that *service keyless system* message today. Gee, I'll have to pop by the dealer and have it looked at . First visit for anything, other than oil changes, since I bought my Big Red. This should be exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Rhoades-Swartz Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I just got the message this afternoon. We bought our Journey in 2012. It was a year old. We have about 53,000. I will check back tomorrow on your response. I really don't trust our dealership but If I have to go there, at least I can have some ammunition if they say its something different.

Journey_SeXT Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Will do. Appointment @ 7 am Thurs. I'm an early bird. (old buzzard) You are not alone on this as I see almost every Chrysler/Dodge vehicle with the push start has this issue. Plenty of "service keyless system" topics on their forums....the Charger forum (20 pages long) seems to fix the problem by replacing the door handles. Are you having issues entering the vehicle? Make sure you let us know what is the deal with this message Hockey_Puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey_puck Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 First into dealer this morning, Out in 15 minutes. Code said battery in fob low so they changed battery (no charge) and reset. We'll see if this reappears, as it was a one-of thing and hasn't repeated and there were no start/entry issues. Will watch and repost anything that happens. My service guy said yes, Chargers have this occurring, but not much activity on Journeys. I'm only 2km from the dealer so can pop over if there is recurrence If anything happens at least there is paperwork in the system.

Maybe you had a software update of recent and they have it worded differently.....maybe something to get people down to the dealership?
