Keyless Entry Keypad

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The keyless entry keypad is hardwired to the BCM. The BCM interprets the inputs from the keyless entry keypad and then controls the associated operation. The keyless entry keypad is illuminated for 5 seconds when any button is pressed. The BCM requests the illuminated entry feature to turn the interior lamps on when a valid entry code is received. If a lock all doors code is entered, the illuminated entry feature turns off.

NOTE: The keyless entry keypad does not lock the doors if the driver door is ajar.

The keyless entry keypad supplies a signal to the BCM when the buttons are pressed. The BCM then supplies voltage to the appropriate door lock actuator(s) to lock or unlock the doors. On vehicles with memory, the keyless entry keypad also causes the BCM to send an MS-CAN message to the DSM to activate all memory features to the positions associated with the personal entry code entered in on the keypad.
