Rolling Code

The keyless entry system uses rolling code technology. Rolling code technology prevents anyone from recording the message sent from the transmitter and using the message in order to gain entry to the vehicle. The term "rolling code" refers to the way that the keyless entry system sends and receives the signals. The transmitter sends the signal in a different order each time. The transmitter and the Body Control Module (BCM) or the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) are synchronized to the appropriate order. If a programmed transmitter sends a signal that is not in the order that the BCM or the RCDLR expects, the system will not function. This occurs after 256 presses of any button on the transmitter when it is out of range of the vehicle.
