Remote Keyless Entry Exterior Lamp Illumination

On vehicles with a Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR), when the RCDLR module receives a door unlock command from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, the RCDLR module will send a class 2 message to the Body Control Module (BCM) indicating that an UNLOCK command has been received. The BCM will then flash the park lamps twice. With all the doors closed, and the RKE transmitter is used to lock the doors, the park lamps will flash twice. The park lamps will not flash if the rear compartment is opened using the RKE transmitter.

On vehicles without a RCDLR when the BCM receives a door unlock command from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, the BCM will then flash the park lamps twice.
