Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The remote transmitter sends a frequency that is received by the vehicle security module internal antenna. Depending on the frequency received, the vehicle security module will lock all doors or unlock the driver door. If the unlock frequency is received again within 3 seconds of the first unlock, the vehicle security module will unlock all doors.

If the frequency received is for the panic button, the vehicle security module will cycle ground to the park lamp and horn. The park lamps and horn will continue to cycle until the panic button is pressed again or the key is turned to the ON position. The operating range of the remote transmitter maybe affected by aftermarket systems, dealer installed options, high power devices or TV/Radio transmission towers.
