Keyless Entry Keypad

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The keyless entry keypad, located in the exterior handle of the driver door, provides a method for the customer to access the vehicle without a key or RKE transmitter. The keyless entry keypad feature:

locks all doors and inhibits the door lock control switch unlock capability after 20 seconds (if the inhibit feature is enabled).
unlocks only the driver door.
unlocks all doors.
programs/erases the customer key code.
enables/disables autolocking.

The keyless entry keypad feature operates independently of key position status, vehicle speed, or transmission position. When a keyless entry keypad button is pressed, the keyless entry keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If LOCK ALL DOORS is entered or 5 seconds have elapsed since the last button press, the illumination is turned off.

Each vehicle equipped with a keyless entry keypad is programmed with a permanent factory 5-digit keyless entry keypad code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet card in the Owner's Literature package. In addition, this code is available through a scan tool and is also printed on the VSM label. When entering customer or permanent codes, each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the previous button press.
