Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation
Remote Keyless Entry Module
When an RKE lock message is sent to the Body Control Module (BCM), the BCM actuates the doors and the tailgate lock, the interior lighting is turned
off, the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the exterior lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock message is sent to the BCM, the BCM actuates the driver side front door (or all doors and the
tailgate if this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The exterior lamps
flash if this feature is enabled.
When an RKE panic message is sent to the BCM, the BCM actuates the driver side front door (or all doors and the tailgate if this feature is enabled)
unlock, the interior lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The panic message will also cause the exterior lamps
(including the headlights) to flash, and the horn to pulse for about three minutes, or until a second panic message is sent to the BCM. A vehicle speed of
about 25.7 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour) will also cancel the panic event.
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted, the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will retain all vehicle access codes in its memory. When
replacing or adding a key fob transmitter (maximum of 4) a DRB III(R) scan tool is required to program the RKE Module to accept the new Vehicle
Access Code if a customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, (Refer to ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - STANDARD
PROCEDURE)
