Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Remote locking and unlocking of the doors, activating the panic alarm, and releasing the luggage compartment latch is accomplished by the smart junction box (SJB) receiving a command message from the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter through the tire pressure monitoring system/remote keyless entry (TPMS/RKE) external antenna. The SJB processes the command and provides the appropriate output.
The SJB will disable the PANIC feature if the ignition key is in any position other than OFF or LOCK.
The SJB will disable the luggage compartment lid release if the vehicle is moving faster than 5 km/h (3 mph) or faster.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- All door locks
- Horn system
- Luggage compartment lid latch
- Turn signals
- RKE transmitter
