Remote Keyless Entry

The remote keyless entry system allows locking and unlocking of the vehicle door(s) liftgate, panic alarm and arming or disarming of the vehicle theft security system (if equipped), using the hand held (RF) transmitter.

The RKE module is also referred to as the Alarm Remote Keyless Entry Module (ARKEM). It also contains the functionality for the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS).

The module may receive signals from up to four transmitters. Each transmitter has its own code, and the code is programmed and stored into the module memory. If a transmitter is replaced or additional transmitters are added, the codes for all units have to be reprogrammed into the RKE module or ARKEM memory. If a module is replaced, the transmitter codes must be stored in the new memory (by performing the steps for programming transmitters). The RKE or ARKEM is capable of retaining all transmitter codes when power is removed from the module.
