Keyless Entry Keypad

The keyless entry keypad is integrated into the front door window moulding. The BCM sends voltage signals on 3 separate circuits to the keyless entry keypad. When an individual keypad button is touched, an individual or combination of the input circuits is routed to ground. Based on these inputs, the BCM determines which button was touched. When a valid code is received, the BCM locks/unlocks the doors.

When a keypad button is touched, the buttons illuminate. The keypad illumination turns off after 5 seconds have elapsed since the last button press. The keypad also illuminates any time the illuminated entry feature is active.

The keyless entry keypad can be used to:

• unlock the driver door.
• unlock all the doors.
• lock all the doors (except when the driver door is open).
• unlatch the luggage compartment lid.
• program/erase up to 5 user codes.

Locking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad 

It is not necessary to enter the factory set or personal code prior to locking all doors. To lock all doors, touch and hold the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons at the same time for approximately 0.5 second. The locking function is disabled when the driver door is open.

Unlocking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad 

To unlock the driver door, enter either the factory set code or a personal code (each digit must be pressed within 5 seconds of the prior digit). The illuminated entry feature activates unless disabled.

To unlock all doors, enter the factory set code or a personal code (driver door unlocks) and then touch the 3/4 button within 5 seconds. This feature can be changed to a 1-stage unlock so that all of the doors unlock when a valid code is entered. Refer to: Staged Unlock Programming .

Unlatching the Luggage Compartment Lid with the Keyless Entry Keypad 

Enter the factory set code or a personal code (driver door unlocks) and then touch the 5/6 button within 5 seconds.

Anti-Scan Feature 

To provide added security, the keypad is disabled for 1 minute after 36 button presses without a valid entry code being entered. The keypad flashes during this 1 minute mode with all functionality disabled except for 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.

Anti-scan turns off after 1 minute of keypad inactivity, the unlock button is pressed on a RKE transmitter, a passive entry feature is used, or the ignition is turned on.

Factory Keycode Retrieval 

The factory keycode for the keyless entry keypad can be retrieved from a label on the BCM, using a diagnostic scan tool, or by using 2 valid programmed keys.

To retrieve the factory keycode using 2 programmed keys:

• Place the first valid programmed key in the backup starting location and turn the ignition on.
• Turn the ignition off and remove the first key.
• Place the second valid programmed key in the backup starting location and turn the ignition on.

The factory keycode displays momentarily in the message center.
