Keyless Entry Key-Pad: Testing and Inspection




Keyless Entry Keypad Code Programming

Programming a Personal Entry Code and Keypad Association to Memory Settings

NOTE: The system allows 3 personal codes to be programmed.

1. Enter the permanent set 5-digit keyless entry keypad code.

2. Within 5 seconds, press the 1/2 button on the keypad to activate the programming mode.

3. Enter the new 5-digit personal keyless entry keypad code. Each number must be entered within 5 seconds of each other.

4. NOTE: The permanent-set code cannot be associated with a memory setting.

To associate the entry code with a new memory setting, enter a sixth digit to indicate which driver should be set in a memory recalled by the personal entry code:

- Pressing 1/2 recalls Driver 1 settings.

- Pressing 3/4 recalls Driver 2 settings.

- Pressing other keypad buttons or not pressing a keypad button as a sixth digit does not set a driver setting and will not recall a memory setting.

5. The door locks will lock and unlock to confirm the new code is programmed.

Erasing a Personal Entry Code

1. Enter the factory set 5-digit keyless entry keypad code into all 3 personal code slots.

2. All personal codes are now erased and only the factory set 5-digit code works.
