DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle
door(s), deck lid release, and panic by remote control
using a hand held radio frequency transmitter (Fig.
1). The module must be in the customer usage mode
of operation for the remote keyless entry system to
function.
The receiver may receive signals from up to four
transmitters. Each transmitter has its own code, and
the code is programmed and stored into RKE module
memory. If a transmitter is replaced or additional
transmitters are added, the codes for all units have
to be reprogrammed into the RKE module memory. If
a receiver module is replaced, the transmitter codes
must be stored in the new receiver memory (by per-
forming the steps for programming transmitters).The RKE module is capable of retaining all transmit-
ter codes when power is removed from the module.
Operation of the Remote Keyless Entry system
works in a similar manner to the central locking/un-
locking feature. With the double activation unlock
feature enabled, the first press of the transmitter
UNLOCK button will electrically unlock the driver
door, and a second press of the UNLOCK button
(within five seconds of the first) will unlock all vehi-
cle doors. With the double activation feature dis-
abled, all vehicle doors will unlock upon the first
press of the transmitter UNLOCK button. The vehi-
cle is locked electrically by pressing the transmitter
LOCK button once, regardless of the state of the dou-
ble activation unlock feature. The vehicle is shipped
with the double activation unlock feature enabled.
The deck lid can be unlatched manually via the
key cylinder from outside the vehicle, or by depress-
ing the deck lid release button on the RKE transmit-
ter twice (within five seconds).
The RKE module has three modes of operation
including customer usage mode, dealer lot storage
mode, and shipping mode. The customer usage mode
provides full functionality of the module and is the
mode in which the RKE module should be operating
when used by the customer. Dealer lot storage mode
and shipping modes are reduced power modes meant
to extend vehicle battery life during shipping and
storage in the dealer lot. Dealer lot storage mode pro-
vides limited VTSS and power door lock functions,
but disables the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) func-
tions. This mode is intended to be used when the
vehicle is on the dealer lot to provide VTSS coverage
of the vehicle while minimizing battery drain. Ship-
ping mode disables all normal functions (i.e. power
door locks, RKE, and VTSS) of the module, and is
intended to be used when the vehicle is shipped from
the assembly plant.
