F 250 2WD Pickup V6-4.2L VIN 2 (1998)
Keyless Entry: Description and Operation
Autolock
NOTE: Manual transmission vehicles have this feature disabled at the factory.
All doors will automatically lock each time the vehicle is driven after the following steps are completed:
^
The ignition switch is in the RUN/ACC position and the autolock feature is enabled.
^
The shift control selector is passed into or through the REVERSE position.
^
All doors are closed when the driver releases the brake pedal.
After the initial lock, all doors will automatically relock when any door is opened and then closed followed by the release of the brake pedal. However,
the doors will not relock if the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The door may not automatically lock if the vehicle is shifted quickly into gear after starting the engine.
The enable/disable mode allows the autolock feature to be turned off and on. On manual transmission vehicles, when replacing the Remote Anti-theft
Personality (RAP) module, the autolock feature must be turned off by using the enable/disable mode.
The enable/disable mode is entered when the following series of steps is performed:
1. Confirm that the perimeter alarm is disarmed.
2. Close all doors.
3. Confirm that the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
NOTE: Steps 4 through 8 must be performed within 30 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.
5. Press the power door lock UNLOCK button three times.
6. Turn the ignition switch from RUN to OFF.
7. Press the power door lock UNLOCK button three times.
8. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.
9. Verify that the RAP module chirps the horn. This indicates that the RAP module is now in the enable/disable mode and ready to accept program
changes.
10. Press the power door lock UNLOCK button one time to command the RAP module to toggle the autolock/relock feature ON or OFF.
11. Press the power door lock LOCK button once to enter the command.
12. Verify that the vehicle horn chirps one time to signal the RAP module confirmation of the command. There should only be one chirp indicating
that the autolock/relock feature has been disabled. If one chirp is heard, followed by a longer honk, the autolock/relock feature has just been
enabled. Return to step 10.
13. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to exit the enable/disable mode.
14. Verify that the RAP module chirps the horn once to indicate that a feature has been changed.
The autolock and the appropriate alarm configuration are turned on at the factory on vehicles with automatic transmissions. Vehicles with manual
transmissions have the autolock turned off at the factory. The RAP module returns to the prior setting any time battery power is interrupted.
