The keyless entry system is a supplementary vehicle entry device. Radio frequencies or discharged batteries may disable the system.
Keyless entry can operate the following components:
- The door locks
- The interior lamps
- The parking lamps
- The headlamps
- The puddle lamps (if equipped)
- The horn
The keyless entry system has the following main components:
- The transmitters
- The passenger door module (PDM)
The PDM communicates with the body control module (BCM) through the keyless entry serial data circuit. When you press a button on a transmitter, the transmitter sends a signal to the PDM. The PDM sends a request to the BCM and the BCM performs the appropriate function.
