REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the instru-
ment cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
door locks, the interior lighting is turned off, the
horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the park
lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the
vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock mes-
sage is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument
cluster actuates the driver side front door (or all
doors if this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior
lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the VTSS is disarmed.
When an RKE panic message is sent to the instru-
ment cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is
enabled) unlock, the interior lighting is turned on
and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is dis-
armed. The panic message will also cause the exte-
rior lamps (including the headlights) to flash, andthe horn to sound for about three minutes, or until a
second panic message is sent to the instrument clus-
ter. A vehicle speed of about 25.7 kilometers-per-hour
(15 miles-per-hour) will also cancel the panic event.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information
on the features, use and operation of the RKE sys-
tem.
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted,
the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will retain
all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replac-
ing or adding a key fob transmitter (maximum of 4) a
DRB IIItscan tool is required to program the RKE
Module to accept the new Vehicle Access Code if a
customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, (Refer to 8

TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY MODULE
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power lock system requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the instrument cluster (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER -
REMOVAL).
(3) Remove remote keyless entry module from

STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER
PROGRAMING
New Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can
be programed using the DRB IIItscan tool and the
proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The DRB IIIt
scan tool can provide confirmation that the PCI data
bus is functional, and that all of the electronic mod-
ules are sending and receiving the proper messages
on the PCI data bus.The following procedure can be used as long as one
programmed transmitter is available:
NOTE: When entering program mode using that
programmed fob, ALL currently programmed fobs
will be erased and they will have to be repro-
grammed for the vehicle. If program mode is
entered and no action is performed, the previously
programmed fobs will continue to function.
(1) Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
(2) Fasten the seat belt (this will cancel the seat
belt chime). Turn the ignition to the RUN position.
(3) Press and hold the UNLOCK button on a pro-
grammed transmitter for 4 to 10 seconds. Within the
4 to 10 seconds with the UNLOCK button still
depressed, press the PANIC button for one second.
When a single chime is heard, release both button-
s.The chime indicates the system is in program
mode.
(4) Press and release both the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on a fob to be pro-
grammed. A single chime will be heard, this indicates
the fob has been recognized.
(5) Press and release any button on the same fob.
A single chime will be heard, this indicates the fob
has been programmed.
(6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 for up to a total of 4 fobs.
(7) Turn the ignition OFF.

The vehicle will remain in program mode for up to
60 seconds from when the original chime (step 3) was
