NOTE: The numbers in the table show the troubleshooting sequence.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the motor, apply battery voltage only momentarily.

NOTE:

When the remote transmitter button is pressed the first time, only the driver's door will unlock. When the button is

pressed the second time, all the doors will unlock.

The doors will relock automatically after 20 seconds if a door is not opened, or the key is out of the ignition switch.

The keyless entry system will not lock the doors when the key is in the ignition switch.ProCarManuals.com
