Keyless Entry Keypad

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2003 Ford Excursion, and 2003 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The keyless entry keypad, located on the exterior of the driver door, provides a method for the customer to access their vehicle without a key or keyless entry remote 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 customer key code.
Enables/disables autolocking.

The keyless entry keypad feature operates independently of ignition status, vehicle speed, or transmission position. When a keypad button is depressed, the keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If LOCK ALL DOORS is entered or five 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 five-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet card in the Owner Literature package. In addition, this code is available through a diagnostic tool and is also printed on the vehicle security module label. When entering codes each digit must be entered within five seconds of the previous button press.
