Remote Keyless Entry
On vehicles equipped with Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module is located in rear of overhead console. On vehicles not equipped with electronic compass, RKE module is part of mini-dome light. See COMPONENT LOCATIONSΒ . On all vehicles, when RKE module receives a valid signal from RKE transmitter, it will send a signal on the bus to lock or unlock doors. When unlock button on remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, doors will unlock and illuminated entry will turn on. Remote keyless entry transmitter uses radio frequency signals to communicate with RKE module.
