Keyless Door Lock Control 

The remote can transmit a lock or unlock signal to the keyless access/TPMS control unit or the keyless access control unit, which sends the keyless request to the MICU using the B-CAN. The MICU then controls the door lock actuator by B-CAN signal and various switch signal.

Keyless Door Lock Control (Trunk Lid)

Key Lockout Prevent Function 

The lockout function observes the key switch signal input. If the input is ON (remote in the vehicle), the system will not lock the doors. If the driver manually locks and closes the doors with a remote in the vehicle (input ON), the MICU energizes the driver's door actuator and unlocks the driver's door.

When the trunk is closed with the remote left in the trunk, the RF unit detects the location of the remote and does not lock the trunk.

Security Answer Back Control 

When using the remote, the MICU provides an answer back function to alert the client that the MICU received a lock or unlock command from the remote. When the MICU receives a lock signal, it sends signals once to the turn signal lights and the keyless buzzer. When the MICU receives an unlock signal, the MICU sends signals two times to the turn signal lights.
