The Keyless Entry System includes the following components:
• | A hand-held radio transmitter |
• | The remote control door lock receiver |
The transmitter sends a digitally encoded radio signal to the module
when you push a button. The transmitter range is approximately 7 m
(23 ft). You may use the the transmitter in order to control the
following circuits:
• | The illuminated entry lamps |
• | The following door locks: |
• | The luggage compartment lid release |
The antenna/receiver is integrated internally within the remote control
door lock receiver (RFA).
Illuminated Entry
The remote control door lock receiver grounds the interior lamps for
approximately 40 seconds under either of the following conditions:
• | When the remote control door lock receiver receives a door unlock
signal |
• | Until the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position |
Door Locks
When you press the transmitter unlock button once, the remote control
door lock receiver output will turn on at connector C1 terminal A.
When you press the transmitter unlock button once, the driver's door
will unlock. The remote control door lock receiver receives the transmitted
signal. The receiver activates the receiver output at connector C1 terminal E.
This applies battery voltage directly to the left front door lock motor.
The lock motor is grounded through the door lock relay.
When you press the transmitter unlock button twice within 5 seconds,
the remote control door lock receiver activates the receiver output at connector C1
terminal A and terminal B. The unlock relay in the door lock
relay assembly energizes. The energizing of the unlock relay causes the
passenger doors to unlock.
When you press the lock button, the remote control door lock receiver
activates the receiver output at connector C1 terminal R. The
lock relay in the door lock relay assembly energizes. The energizing of
the unlock relay causes the doors to lock. The driver's door is grounded
through the remote control door lock receiver when locking.
Security Features
A rolling code is incorporated into the remote control door lock receiver.
The rolling code prevents the transmitter signal from the following activities:
.
• | Being retransmitted to unlock the doors |
Each time the transmitter is used, the remote control door lock receiver
moves the rolling code to the next code. If the transmitter activates outside
the range of the remote control door lock receiver more than 256 times,
the transmitter will no longer synchronize with the receiver's rolling
code. The transmitter will not function until the transmitter has been
resynchronized with the remote control door lock receiver. In order to
resynchronize the receiver and the transmitter, the operator must hold
both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for approximately 10 seconds while
within the receiver's signal reception range. This cycles the locks in
order to notify the operator that the system meets both of the following
conditions:
• | The system is functional. |
• | The system is operational. |
Luggage Compartment Lid Release
When you press the trunk release button on the transmitter, battery
voltage is applied to the luggage compartment lid release solenoid. The solenoidactivates
the trunk release. The remote control door lock receiver is not able to
activate the solenoid when the ignition switch is not in the OFF position.
