DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Keyless Entry
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
59 , Generic Electronic Module for schematic and connector
information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 111 , Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) for schematic and connector
information.
Principles of Operation
NOTE: Battery power and ground must be remove before disconnecting the GEM connectors to avoid
setting false codes.
Power Locks Operation
The power locks feature allows the customer to lock and unlock the doors via momentary switches
located on the driver and passenger door. When the GEM detects a momentary press of the driver or
passenger lock button, the GEM will supply power to the driver or passenger lock actuators for
approximately 250 ms from relays internal to the GEM. When the GEM detects a momentary press of
the driver or passenger unlock button, the GEM will supply power to the driver or passenger unlock
actuators for approximately 250 ms from relays internal to the GEM.
Remote Keyless Entry Door Locks Operation
The remote entry feature allows the customer to unlock the driver door, unlock all doors, and lock all
doors using a valid remote transmitter as long as the ignition switch is not in RUN or START. The
driver door is unlocked whenever the GEM detects a valid remote transmitter unlock transmission. All
the doors are unlocked when the GEM detects a second valid remote transmitter unlock transmission
within three seconds of the first transmission. All the doors are locked when the GEM detects a valid
remote transmitter lock transmission. If the GEM detects a second valid remote transmitter lock
transmission within three seconds of the first transmission, the doors will lock again, the horn will
sound for 20 ms and the parking lamps will flash for 200 ms to indicate the doors are locked. If the
GEM detects the driver or passenger door is ajar during the second lock transmission, the doors are
locked again and the horn is sounded twice. If the GEM detects a valid remote transmitter lock
transmission within three seconds of detecting a valid remote transmitter unlock transmission, the SECTION 501-

GEM will lock all the doors.
Remote Keyless Entry Luggage Compartment Operation
The luggage compartment lid is released whenever the GEM detects a valid remote transmitter
luggage compartment release transmission.
Panic Alarm Operation
The panic alarm feature allows the vehicle to initiate an alarm for 2.75 minutes to identify itself using a
valid remote transmitter. The panic alarm is activated whenever the GEM detects the ignition switch is
in the OFF position or if the key is removed from the ignition, and the GEM detects a valid PANIC
response from the remote transmitter. When the panic alarm is activated, the GEM:
zilluminates the courtesy lamps.
z flashes the parking lamps.
z toggles the horn on and off.
The panic alarm is deactivated whenever GEM detects:
zif the key causes a transition of the ignition switch circuits to
„ACC.
„ RUN.
„ START.
z the remote transmitter
„panic button.
„ unlock button.
The panic alarm is also deactivated after 2.75 minutes have gone by.
Remote Transmitter Programming Operation
This feature allows the customer to program up to four different transmitter identification codes (TIC)
for four remote transmitters to the vehicle at any time. For additional information, refer to
Programming — Keyless Entry Remote Transmitter .
Inspection and Verification 1. The keyless entry system is a generic electronic module (GEM).
2. Verify the customer concern by using the remote transmitters to operate the keyless entry system.
3. Visually inspect for the following obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
