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 Keypad
The keyless entry keypad is located on the exterior of the driver door and provides a method for the customer to access the vehicle without a key or RKE transmitter. The keyless entry keypad feature:
- locks all doors and inhibits the door lock control switch UNLOCK capability after 20 seconds (if the inhibit feature is enabled).
- unlocks only the driver door.
- unlocks all doors.
- programs/erases the customer key code.
- enables/disables the autolocking.
The keyless entry keypad feature operates independently of ignition status, vehicle speed, or transmission position. When a keyless entry keypad button is pressed, the keyless entry keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If LOCK ALL DOORS is entered or 5 seconds has elapsed since the last button press, the illumination is turned off.
Each vehicle equipped with an keyless entry keypad is programmed with a 5-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet card in the Owner's Literature package. In addition, this code is available through a scan tool and is also printed on the vehicle security module label. When entering codes each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the previous button press.
