Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter
The remote control door lock transmitter transmits a radio signal to
the body control module (BCM). The BCM controls the functions of the transmitter.
The transmitter range is approximately 9 m (30 feet).
The transmitter data is encrypted, and changes with each use. If the
transmitter buttons are pressed too many times out of range from the vehicle
the transmitter and the BCM will get out of synchronization. This will result
in the transmitter appearing not to work at all. This situations will occur
after the transmitter button is depressed more that 256 times when it is
out of range from the vehicle. This may also be necessary if the transmitter
battery has been replaced and the buttons were pushed a few times out of
range. If the transmitter and the BCM get out of synchronization, re-synchronize
the transmitter and the BCM. Refer to
Transmitter Programming/Synchronization
Body Control Module (BCM)
The Body Control Module (BCM) is battery fed. The BCM is always monitoring
the transmitter signal. When the BCM receives the correct transmitter signal
the following actions occur:
- A transistor driver energizes the correct lock control relay coil.
- The transistor driver will arm the universal theft-deterrent,
if equipped.
- The doors lock.
The BCM also regulates which lock control relays will be energized in
order to perform the following operations:
• | Release the rear compartment lift window panel |
• | Disarm the universal theft-deterrent, if equipped |
For replacement of the BCM, refer to
Body Control Module Replacement
in Body Control System.
