Keyless Entry: Service and Repair
Entry CodeNOTE: The permanent entry code cannot be used to operate the electronic door lock control system. It is only used to program a personal entry code.
The permanent entry code is located on the owner's warranty card, on a label inside of the glove compartment, and on an owner's code card. The code is also printed on the electronic door lock control processor.
The permanent entry code is a factory preset, five-digit code. Replacement modules include replacement labels and a new owner's code card. To program a personal entry code, enter the five digit permanent entry code followed by a five-digit personal entry code.
NOTE: The personal entry code must be entered within five seconds after the permanent entry code. For security reasons, sequential combinations of the door lock touchpad buttons and repetitions of the same button five times are not accepted by the electronic door lock control processor.
Security Mode Operation
The electronic door lock control system is equipped with a security mode that protects the vehicle from invalid entry attempts.
If more than 15 buttons are pressed consecutively without entering the personal entry code correctly, the system will enter a security mode for about six seconds. The keyless entry beeper and the door lock touchpad will not operate and the door lock touchpad will not accept any inputs during this time.
If more than 35 buttons are pressed after this sequence, the system will enter a second security mode for about 30 seconds. The keyless entry beeper and the door lock touchpad will not operate and the door lock touchpad will not accept any inputs during this time.
After the second security mode has been activated, the system will only accept the next seven door lock touchpad inputs. If the next seven inputs do not contain the personal entry code, the system enters another 30 second security mode. The system will repeat this procedure until the personal entry code is entered.
