Keyless Entry Keypad

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. When a valid code is received, the BCM locks/unlocks the doors.

When a keypad button is touched, the buttons illuminate. The keypad illumination turns off after 5 seconds have elapsed since the last button press. The keypad also illuminates any time the illuminated entry feature is active.

The keyless entry keypad can be used to:

unlock the driver door.
unlock all the doors.
lock all the doors (except when the driver door is open).
program/erase up to 5 user codes.

Locking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad

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 0.5 second. The locking function is disabled when the driver door is open.

Unlocking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad

NOTE: Vehicles equipped with passive entry come from the factory set with the 2-stage unlock feature disabled (all doors unlock when the factory keycode is entered).

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.

If the 2-stage unlock is enabled, enter the factory set code or a personal code (driver door unlocks) and then touch the 3/4 button within 5 seconds to unlock all doors. This feature can be changed to a 1-stage unlock using the message center settings.
