Keyless Entry Keypad

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Sable, 2008 Ford Taurus X, and 2008 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The keypad, located on the exterior of the driver door, provides a method for customers to access their vehicle without a key or RKE transmitter. The keypad feature:

Locks all doors
Unlocks the driver door
Unlocks all doors
Programs/erases the customer key code
Enables/disables auto-unlocking
Enables/disables autolocking
Recalls memory seat/power mirror positions (if equipped)
Releases the luggage compartment lid

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

Each vehicle equipped with a keypad is programmed with a 5-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet card in the Owner's Literature. In addition, this code is available through a scan tool and is also printed on the SJB label. When entering codes, each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the previous button press. The SJB accepts the programming of 2 personal entry codes. Refer to Keyless Entry Keypad Code Programming in this article for programming information.
