Keyless Entry: Description and Operation

INTRODUCTION




The key fob transmitter has three buttons to actuate and program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system.
- UNLOCK: Actuating the UNLOCK button once will unlock the driver door and activate the illuminated entry system. Actuating the UNLOCK button twice within five seconds will unlock all doors.
- LOCK: Actuating the LOCK button locks all doors and sounds horn (chirp). The chirp verifies the door lock operation.
- PANIC: Actuating the PANIC button sounds the horns and alternately flashes the headlamps and parking lamps. The panic alarm will remain on for one minute, until the PANIC button is actuated again or the ignition is switched to the RUN position.

The Remote Keyless Entry Module is capable of retaining the transmitter Vehicle Access Code (VAC) in memory even after vehicle power has been interrupted.

Several features are programmable using a programming operation:
1. Horn Chirp
2. Panic Function

Refer to Keyless Entry Module Programming

Vehicle Access Code (VAC) Programming
The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle door(s) by remote control using a hand held radio frequency transmitter. The ignition switch must be OFF before the panic function can be activated with the transmitter.

The receiver may receive VAC signals from two transmitters. Each transmitter has its own Vehicle Access Code and the code is programmed and stored into receiver memory. If the transmitter is replaced or a second transmitter is added, the codes of both units have to be reprogrammed into the receiver memory. If a receiver module is replaced, both the transmitter codes must be stored in the new receiver memory

OPERATION




The transmitter has three buttons for operation. They are LOCK, UNLOCK and PANIC.

The receiver is capable of retaining all Vehicle Access Codes (VAC) even when power is removed.

Each remote keyless entry module (RKE) must have at least one and no more than two transmitters.
