Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system uses an Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT). The IKT incorporates both the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) functions and the RKE transmitter functions in a single device.
The RKE transmitter is programmed automatically during PATS key programming. During PATS key programming, the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) obtains the Transmitter Identification Code (TIC) from the IKT and sends the TIC data over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) to the SJB.
The SJB accepts programming of up to 4 IKTs. In addition to the IKTs, 4 conventional keyfobs can also be programmed to the vehicle if requested by the customer. For information on programming the IKTs, refer to KEY PROGRAMMING USING TWO PROGRAMMED KEYS or INTEGRATED KEYHEAD TRANSMITTER (IKT) KEY PROGRAMMING USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT . For information on programming the conventional keyfobs, refer to REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING .
The RKE transmitter initiates the following electronic system functions:
- Unlocks the driver door (stepped unlock enabled)
- Unlocks both doors
- Locks both doors
- Releases the luggage compartment lid
- Locks both doors and flashes the turn signal lamps if all doors, hood and luggage compartment lid are closed
- Activates/deactivates the panic alarm
- Commands the interior lamps on when unlocking and off when locking
- Provides a long flash of the turn signals when UNLOCK is pressed (late build vehicles only)
- Sounds the horn once and flashes the turn signals twice when LOCK is pressed twice within 3 seconds, and the doors, hood and luggage compartment lid are closed
- Sounds the horn twice when LOCK is pressed twice within 3 seconds if any door, hood and luggage compartment lid is ajar
- Arms/disarms the perimeter alarm system (if equipped)
The RKE transmitter has a normal operating range of 10 m (33 ft).
