General Description
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System:
Remote keyless entry (RKE) is a feature which allows for the operation of the door locks, interior lighting, and decklid/liftgate release from outside the vehicle.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system consists of a remote control door lock (RKE) module and two transmitters. The remote control door lock (RKE) module can be programmed with up to four transmitters. The transmitter sends a signal to the remote control door lock (RKE) module when lock, unlock, or the vehicle symbol button is depressed. The remote control door lock (RKE) module interprets the signal, decodes it and then executes it by activating the required circuitry to provide the requested function.
RKE Functions:
Lock
All doors will lock automatically when LOCK is pressed on the transmitter. If the horn chirp function is enabled, the horn will sound. The dome lamp will illuminate for two seconds as soon as all the doors are closed.
Unlock
The driver's door will be unlocked automatically when UNLOCK is pressed on the transmitter. If UNLOCK is pressed again within five seconds, after the first time it was pressed, the remaining doors will be unlocked. The dome lamp illuminates for 40 seconds or until the ignition is turned to "RUN," with the dome lamp in the "DOOR" position and all the vehicle doors are closed.
Decklid/Liftgate Release
The decklid, or liftgate, will unlock when the vehicle symbol is pressed on the transmitter with the ignition Off or the vehicle stationary. The dome lamp will come On for 40 seconds. The dome lamp will turn Off when the ignition is turned On.
Illuminated Entry
The dome lamp in the "DOOR" position will be controlled by the doors and the transmitter. When a door is opened, the dome lamp will come On. When all the doors are closed, the dome lamp will stay On for 40 seconds, or until the ignition is turned On.
