All you should have to do (if your FZV is working) is initialize the key so it works with keyless entry?

That is correct and if the FZV is not working that's the *only* way you will really know.

I had symptoms for a long time that the receiver was at fault. The "works only when slam the hatchback" sent me exactly where you were thinking I even cut open the rubber wiring tube to the hatch to look for brokwn wires.

In the end it was the key!
