Description & Operation: Notes
WARNING:
Vehicles are equipped with Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR). Before attempting any repairs involving steering column, instrument panel or related components, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING SIR SYSTEM in AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM
article.
CAUTION:
When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES
article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.
NOTE:
The Remote Keyless Entry system is intended to be used as a supplementary vehicle entry device. It is not intended to replace, but rather should be used in conjunction with, a door lock key. The system could be disabled due to radio frequency interference or low transmitter battery power level. It is therefore necessary to always maintain access to a door lock key.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) is a feature which allows for the operation of the door locks, interior lighting and trunk release from outside the vehicle.
The main components of the system are the transmitter (2 per vehicle), receiver module, and the antenna. See Fig 1 . The transmitter unit sends a radio signal to the receiver module in response to button presses by the vehicle operator. The receiver module then interprets the signals and activates the required circuitry to provide the requested function.
