Remote Keyless Entry System

The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system is a radio frequency system that allows the use of a remote radio transmitter to control the power lock and illuminated entry systems. The RKE system consists of the remote key fob transmitter and a radio receiver with program logic, which is installed in an RKE housing on the headliner of the vehicle, or in the housing of the optional overhead console, depending upon how the vehicle is equipped.

The RKE system can retain the vehicle access codes of up to four transmitters. The transmitter codes are retained in memory, even if the battery is disconnected. If a transmitter is faulty or lost, new transmitter vehicle access codes can be programmed into the system using a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures.

The RKE system for this vehicle also features a customer-programmable horn chirp feature. This feature allows the customer the option of enabling or disabling the horn chirp request that the RKE receiver issues as an audible indication that a valid Lock signal has been received from the RKE transmitter. See Body and Frame/Locks/Keyless Entry/Remote Keyless Entry Receiver Programming for more information on this feature.
