Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

After pressing the lock button on the RKE transmitter, all of the door locks will lock, the illuminated entry will turn off (providing all doors are closed), and the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) (if equipped) will arm. After pressing the unlock button, on the RKE transmitter, one time, the driver door lock will unlock, the illuminated entry will turn on the courtesy lamps, and the VTSS (if equipped) will disarm. After pressing the unlock button a second time, the remaining door locks will unlock. The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or a scan tool can reprogram this feature to unlock all of the door locks with one press of the unlock button. If the vehicle is equipped with the memory system, the memory message will identify which transmitter (1 or 2) sent the signal. Refer to ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - SERVICE INFORMATION for more information on on Overhead Console/Electronic Vehicle Information Center and customer programmable features.

The SKREEM/WCM is capable of retaining up to 8 individual access codes (8 transmitters). If the PRNDL is in any position except park, the SKREEM/WCM will disable the RKE. The 4 button transmitter uses 1-CR2032 battery. The minimum battery life is approximately 4.7 years based on 20 transmissions a day at 84°F (25°C). Use a scan tool or the Miller Tool 9001 RF Detector to test the RKE transmitter. Use a scan tool or the customer programming method to program the RKE system. However, the SKREEM/WCM will only allow RKE programming when the ignition is in the ON position, the PRNDL is in park position, and the VTSS (if equipped) is disarmed.
