Keyless Entry Keypad

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The keyless entry keypad is hardwired to the SJB. The SJB interprets the inputs from the keyless entry keypad and then controls the associated operation. The keyless entry keypad is illuminated for 5 seconds when any button is pressed. The SJB requests the illuminated entry feature to turn the interior lamps on when a valid entry code is received. If a lock all doors code is entered, the illuminated entry feature turns off.

NOTE: The keyless entry keypad does not lock the doors if the driver door is ajar.

The keyless entry keypad supplies a signal to the SJB when the buttons are pressed. The SJB then supplies voltage to the appropriate door lock actuator(s) to lock or unlock the doors. The keyless entry keypad can also be used to release the luggage compartment lid. On MKZ, the keyless entry keypad also causes the SJB to send an MS-CAN message to the Driver Seat Module (DSM) to activate all memory features to the positions associated with the personal entry code entered on the keypad.
