Keyless Entry Keypad

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The keyless entry keypad (if equipped), located in the exterior handle of the driver door, provides a method for the customer to access the vehicle without a key or RKE transmitter. The keyless entry keypad feature:

Locks all doors
Unlocks the driver door
Unlocks all doors
Programs/erases the customer keypad code
Enables/disables auto-locking
Enables/disables auto-unlocking
Illuminates the keypad
Illuminates the interior lamps

The keyless entry keypad feature operates independently of key position status, vehicle speed, or transmission position. When a keyless entry keypad button is pressed, the keyless entry keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If buttons 7/8 and 9/0 are pressed simultaneously or 5 seconds have elapsed since the last button press, the illumination is turned off.

Vehicles equipped with a keyless entry keypad are programmed with a factory set 5-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer on a wallet card in the Owner's Literature package. In addition, this code is available through the use of a scan tool and is printed on the BCM label located on the back side of the module (installed position). When entering codes, each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the previous button press. The BCM accepts the programming of 3 personal entry codes. Refer to Keyless Entry Keypad Code Programming for programming information.
