Keyless Entry System (Wired or Wireless)

1. If issues are experienced with Keyless Entry keypad operation (located on driver door):

a. Look for any signs of water intrusion.

b. Look for proper wiring connections/connector seating.

c. Check for proper keypad backlighting by pressing a button to verify the light turns on.

d. Most vehicles equipped with a keypad incorporate a security feature called Anti-scan mode. Inform customer they have 7 attempts at inputting a valid keycode before the keypad will be locked out for one minute. (Only the lock function operates while in this mode). This one minute anti-scan mode is indicated by the keypad light flashing rapidly.

2. On 2004 Heavy Duty F-Series repairs, note that the vehicle is released with a new wireless keypad (RF). If the wireless keypad or any remote transmitter requires programming, ALL devices must be present and programmed during the same programming procedure. Wireless keypad repairs must not be binned to the remote transmitter part number (15K601).

3. If the RF device (transmitter or wireless keypad) requires a battery replacement, there is NO need to reprogram the device back to vehicle.
