Passive Open Trunk
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Kia Forte5 and 2018 Kia Forte. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Pressing the Trunk Lid Switch when trunk is closed indicates the operator's intent to open the trunk and thus triggers the system. Subsequently, the SMK ECU sends a LF-challenge to the SMART KEY FOB via the exterior bumper antenna. The SMART KEY FOB answers with a RF-response. If the received response matches the expected answer, SMK ECU sends a "trunk open" message via the CAN network.
