Circuit/System Description

The left keyless entry antenna is located in the right hand B-pillar area and is used as a short range low frequency (LF) transmitter. As a vehicle with locked doors is approached with a key fob and the exterior door handle switch is pressed, the keyless entry antenna transmitter broadcasts a challenge to the key fob in an approximately 1 meter range. If the response from the key fob via radio frequency (RF) is valid, the locked door will be passively unlocked/unlatched and allow the door to be opened.
