Keyless Entry System Description
The keyless entry system is a vehicle entry device. The keyless entry system is used in conjunction with the body control module (BCM) to remotely activate certain vehicle features. Keyless entry will lock/unlock the doors when a corresponding button on
the keyless entry transmitter is pressed. This is accomplished by the transmitter sending a radio frequency to the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR). The RCDLR interprets the signal and activates the requested function via a serial data message to the
body control module (BCM). A low transmitter or vehicle battery or radio frequency (RF) interference from aftermarket devices, such as 2-way radios, power inverters, computers, etc., may cause a system malfunction. High RF traffic areas may also cause interference
that could lead to a malfunction. Keyless entry allows you to operate the following components:
| • | Rear compartment lid release |
| • | Vehicle locator/panic alarm |
| • | Illuminated entry lamps |
The keyless entry system has the following components:
| • | Keyless entry transmitters |
Keyless Entry Transmitters
The keyless entry transmitters are used to lock and unlock the vehicle door while away from the immediate are of the vehicle. The transmitters will operate at a distance of up to 60 feet (18 m) away from the vehicle.
Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR)
The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) is a multifunction module that operates both the keyless entry system as well as the TPM system. When an RF message is received from a keyless entry transmitter, the RCDLR interprets this signal and will request
via serial data that the body control module (BCM) perform the specific function, i.e. door lock, door unlock, or vehicle locate.
