Passive Entry System - Operation





PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM

The Passive Entry Module (PEM) transmits low frequency signals and receives very high frequency signals through the hardwired antennas. The low frequency and very high frequency signals are used to locate available authentic Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK)(s) inside and outside the vehicle. Once an authentic FOBIK is found, the PEM communicates to other vehicle modules for specific system use.
