DENSO RKE System

DENSO RKE (Factory-installed - See Group 42 in service manual) - 2000 Eclipse & Galant

System Operation:
The system will operate if doors are open or closed. Push the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door. Unlocking will cause the dome light to illuminate for 15 seconds and the hazard lights to flash. Push the UNLOCK button again to unlock the passenger doors. Push the LOCK button to lock all doors; the dome light and hazard lights will flash twice to confirm locking operation. If the system locks or unlocks the doors, the answerback functions (which are new for 2000) cause the hazard lights to flash and the horn to sound. To disable or modify the answerback function(s), refer to TSB-00-42A-004 or Group 42 in the service manual.

If a door is not opened within 30 seconds of unlocking, the system will relock the doors. If the vehicle is equipped with the factory alarm system, the remote transmitter will also have a PANIC button, and locking/unlocking the doors will arm/disarm the alarm system. If so equipped, the PANIC button will activate the alarm if pressed.





Receiver Module Location: The Receiver Module and antenna are incorporated into the ETACS- ECU on the back side of the fuse block in the driver's side of the dash.

Electrical Connections: This is a factory-installed system and is "hard-wired" into the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate service manual for specific electrical connections.





DENSO Transmitter Programming:

1. You can program up to 4 transmitters, and you program them all at once.

2. Insert the key into the ignition lock on the steering column. Do not turn it on.

3. With the ignition key off, connect the MUT-II scan tool into the data link connector.

4. Within 10 seconds of plugging in the MUT-II, press the Hazard switch 6 times. The door locks should cycle indicating you are in the programming mode.

5. Press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the first transmitter slowly three times within 10 seconds. The power door locks should cycle after the first transmitter is programmed.

6. Press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the second transmitter slowly three times within 10 seconds. The door locks should cycle after the second transmitter is programmed. The same procedure applies to a third or fourth transmitter.

7. Disconnect the MUT-II, remove the ignition key, and verify that all transmitters operate properly.
