Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The door locks and luggage compartment lid can be operated by the RKE transmitter. When a command is received from the RKE transmitter, the DDM sends a command to the FEM or the REM to unlock a door or unlatch the luggage compartment lid.
The RKE transmitter initiates the following electronic system functions:
- opens the trunk
- unlocks the driver door
- unlocks all doors
- locks all doors
- activates/deactivates the panic alarm
- commands the interior lamps on (when unlocking) and off (when locking)
- sounds the horn once when LOCK is pressed twice within 3 seconds and the doors, the hood, and the trunk are closed
- sounds the horn twice when the LOCK button is pressed twice within 3 seconds and any door, the hood, or the trunk is open
The RKE transmitter has a minimum operating range of 10 m (33 feet).
The RKE transmitters can be programmed using a diagnostic tool or by using the ignition lock cylinder method.
