Description

Liftgate latch

Liftgate release switch

Radio frequency (RF) receiver

Remote keyless entry (RKE) module

Central junction box (CJB)

Hood latch

Exterior door handle

Door latch

Fuel filler door lock

RKE systems use mechanical/electrical door latches individually controlled by the
corresponding RKE module.

RKE modules send and receive commands between each other and the CJB using the
central area network (CAN) bus.

When a key is turned in the door lock cylinder, a lock or unlock signal is sent to the
associated RKE module. The RKE module sends a signal to the CJB. The CJB issues a signal
to the remaining RKE modules, which in turn command the latches to operate.

RKE is achieved by the transmission of a coded RF signal from a transmitter contained in
the vehicle key. The signal is received by the RF receiver located above the headliner in the

vicinity of the overhead console. The received signal is passed onto the CJB where it is
decoded. If the coded signal is valid, the CJB will issue a command on the CAN bus circuit
to operate the door latches or liftgate release.

The signals received by the CJB from the RF antenna or the RKE modules is also used to
arm and disarm the vehicle security systems, illuminate the interior lights and operate the
global closing functions.

Liftgate Latch

The liftgate latch is a mechanical latch with a electric motor to drive the latch release. The
liftgate latch has no remote mechanical release facility.

When the liftgate is closed, the latch is automatically locked.

Liftgate Switch

The liftgate lock switch is located in the licence plate illumination panel. The command to
open the liftgate latch is sent by the CJB when the liftgate switch is operated. The input
command to the CJB can also be issued by the RF receiver.

Door latch

Door latches have mechanical latch release with electric motor operated locking and double
locking function.

When the door latch is locked, the exterior door handle is disengaged from the door latch.

Incorporated within the door latch is a door ajar switch. The door ajar switch monitors the
latch position and supplies information to the RKE module. This information is sent to the
CJB for use in warning systems, locking functions and alarm system.

General Procedures

1. A maximum of eight keyless entry remote

transmitters can be programmed to the central
junction box (CJB). Programming must be carried
out at the same time for all the remote
transmitters.

2. To enter programming mode, first make sure

that the vehicle battery is fully charged and that
the anti-theft system is not armed or triggered.

3. Make sure that the turn signal lamp switch is in

the OFF position.

4. Fasten the safety belts and close all doors to

make sure that conflicting chimes do not sound
during programming.

5. The ignition switch must be turned from position

0 to position II exactly four times during remote
transmitter programming. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in incorrect remote
transmitter programming.

6. Turn the ignition switch to position I.

7. Press and hold one of the buttons on the remote

transmitter.

8. After each successful programming, another 10

second learning mode is automatically entered,
up to a maximum of seven times.

9. To program additional remote transmitters,

repeat step 9.

10. The system will leave the learning mode after the

ignition switch is turned to either position II or
III, or if no new remote transmitter is
programmed during the 10 seconds, or if eight
remote transmitters have been programmed.

11. After successful programming, only the new

programmed remote transmitters will be
accepted.

12. Test all the programmed remote transmitters, by

activating and deactivating the locking/unlocking
functions.
