Keyless Entry System Description and Operation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2004 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Keyless Entry System is a supplementary vehicle entry device. Use the Keyless Entry System in conjunction with a door lock key. Radio frequencies or discharged batteries may disable the system.
Keyless entry allows you to operate the following components:
- The door locks, including the rear compartment.
- The illuminated entry lamps
- The panic alarm
The Keyless Entry System has the following main components:
- The transmitters
- The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR)
The RCDLR 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 RCDLR. The RCDLR sends a request to the BCM and the BCM performs the appropriate function.
