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 Transmitters
The keyless entry transmitters are used to passively or actively lock and unlock the vehicle. When any one of the 4 allowable programmed key fobs are challenged by a keyless entry antenna by depressing either of the exterior door open switches, the transmitters will passively send an RF signal to the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) via the door antennas. The RCDLR will then interpret this communication and either allow entry into the vehicle or deny it.
