Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Keyless Entry System
The keyless entry system is integrated with the multiplex integrated control system. The multiplex integrated control unit (MICU) receives LOCK, UNLOCK and PANIC signals from the door multiplex control unit (keyless receiver).
The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the remote transmitter. When you press the LOCK button, all doors lock. When you press the UNLOCK button once, only the driver's door unlocks. The other doors will unlock when you press the button a second time. The doors will not lock with the remote transmitter if a door is not fully closed, or if the key is in the ignition switch.
If the UNLOCK button is pressed, released, then pressed and held, the windows will begin to open. The windows stop if the button is released. See POWER WINDOWS for more information and troubleshooting.
When the switch for the ceiling light is in the center position, it will come on when the UNLOCK button is pressed. If a door is not opened, the light will go off in about 30 seconds, and the doors will relock. If the doors are locked with the remote transmitter within 30 seconds, the light will go off immediately.
