Keyless Entry Key-Pad: Description and Operation

Keyless Entry Keypad
The keyless entry keypad, located on the exterior of the driver door, provides a method for the customer to access their vehicle without a key or remote transmitter. The keyless entry keypad feature:
- locks all doors and inhibits the door lock control switch UNLOCK capability after 20 seconds (if the inhibit feature is enabled).
- unlocks only the driver door.
- unlocks all doors.
- programs/erases customer key code.
- enables/disables auto-locking.

The keyless entry keypad feature operates independently of ignition status, vehicle speed, or transmission position. When a keypad button is depressed, the keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If 7/8 and 9/0 are pressed or five seconds have elapsed since the last button press, the illumination is turned off.

Each vehicle equipped with a keyless entry keypad is programmed with a five-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer on a wallet card in the Owner literature package. In addition, this code is available through a diagnostic tool and is also printed on the vehicle security module label. When entering codes each digit must be entered within five seconds of the previous button press.

Programming/Erasing Personal Code
A unique personal five-digit code can be programmed by following these steps:
1. Enter the factory set five-digit code (the keypad will illuminate when pressed).
2. Press 1/2 within five seconds of Step 1.
3. Enter the unique five-digit code.

The personal code does not substitute for the permanent factory set code. Either code can be used to access the vehicle. In addition, if a second personal code is programmed, it will simply overwrite the previous personal code. To erase a personal code, carry out the following procedure:
4. Enter factory set five-digit code.
5. Press 1/2 within five seconds of Step 1.
6. Press 7/8 and 9/0 at the same time within five seconds of Step 2.

The system will now only respond to the factory set code.

Anti-Scan Feature
To provide added security, the keyless entry pad is disabled for one minute after 35 button presses without a valid entry code being entered. The keypad will flash during this one-minute mode with all functionality disabled except for 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.

Anti-Scan will be turned off after any of the following events:
- one minute of keypad inactivity
- the remote transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed
- the key is turned to the ON position.

Unlocking The Doors With The Keyless Entry Keypad System
To unlock the driver door, enter either the factory set code or the personal code (each digit must be pressed within five seconds of the prior digit). The interior lamps will illuminate.

To unlock all doors, enter either the factory set code or the personal code (driver door unlocks) and press the 3/4 button within five seconds.

Locking The Doors With The Keyless Entry Keypad System
It is not necessary to enter the factory set or personal code prior to locking all doors. To lock all doors, press the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons at the same time.
