Keyless Entry Keypad (if equipped)

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 and locks/unlocks the doors.

When a keypad button is touched, the buttons illuminate. The keypad also illuminates any time the illuminated entry feature is active. If the lock all doors command is entered or 5 seconds have elapsed since the last button press, the keypad illumination turns off.

The keyless entry keypad can be used to:

• unlock the driver door.
• unlock all the doors.
• lock all the doors.

Vehicles equipped with a keypad are programmed with a 5-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet card in the Owner's Literature. In addition, this code is available through a scan tool and is printed on the BCM label. When entering codes, each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the previous button press.

Locking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad System 

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 2 seconds.

Unlocking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad System 

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-step unlock so that all of the doors unlock when a valid code is entered. REFER to: Staged Unlock Programming 

Anti-Scan Feature 

To provide added security, the keypad is disabled for 1 minute after 35 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, or the ignition is switched to ON.
