Remote Keyless Entry Systems: Description: Notes

The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system is a supplementary vehicle entry device. Radio frequencies or discharged batteries may disable the system. RKE allows operation of the following components:

• Door locks.
• Rear compartment lid release.
• Illuminated entry lights.
• Panic alarm (instant alarm).

The RKE system has the following main components:

• Transmitters.
• Remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR).

When a button is pressed on a transmitter, the transmitter sends a signal to the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR). The RCDLR interprets the signal and activates the requested function using a class 2 message over the serial data line.
