Do you have more than 1 fob to test? There could be a problem with your current fob?
You could also try a hard re-set.
Remove both battery terminals, clamp or tape them together for 45 minutes, isolated away from battery.
Then re-connect.
That may re-set the BCM.

Yes I have tried both fobs. It operates the same with both. Will try hard reset.
Please let us know if that fixes the glitch.

Having similar issues, so watching like a hawk. There’s a few other threads on here about the issue that cover other DIY methods.
im going to try this one first thing tomorrow when I troubleshoot the system.

I tried the procedure this afternoon but did not alleviate the issue!Please let us know if that fixes the glitch.
First off I'm going to need some time to seriously dig into the FSM.
The dealer may be able to test RF output from FOB & scan for issues .
They may also have a known issues list, & lets hope they have some recommendations/ solutions.

Hoping not to take to dealer as I am in process of moving. I have also had TPMS light come on 3 times in a couple days last week. There were no tire issues. Now working fine for the last 3 days. Would that also work thru BCM do you know?

Got a pair of refurbished fobs online for cheap. Had them cut. Followed the self reprogramming procedure posted in the other threads. Total cost was 50$ for the fobs and having them cut.
(Not a fan of dealers personally- I fell they overcharge folks too often)
this might be a faster cheaper alternative than the dealer. Took longer to have the keys cut than matching them to the car!

Check to make sure all tires are at the same /equal psi when cold.
Tire pressure monitor is a different system. Most tire shops can read the signal & diagnose. The newer Jeeps are everything scanable/programmable.
Back to Key fob issues. Anytime the key is in the in the ignition, it disables any programming.
Sitting inside, try turning the key to the fully on position (not starting Jeep) & back to off 5 times.
Then stand outside the Jeep, while pressing the lock & unlock buttons together for 10 seconds/ release. Then wait 1 minute. Did that improve the FOB's conditions?
I did this procedure about 4 hours ago. Seems to be working. Will let you know in a day or two. Thank you
TC thanks for all your help. Two days later and working awesome. You are a wealth of knowledge.
Glad it continues to work & that I could help you.
It's 92F here, so please feel free to send me some cold beer!
