• The UNLOCK button will unlock the driver door, flash the Park lamps twice and enable illuminated entry. Pushing and releasing the button once will unlock the driver door. Pushing and releasing the button two times within a five second period will unlock all doors (double unlock activation enabled).
• Upon pressing the LOCK button, the horn will sound a short chirp (if enabled) and flash the park lamps to notify that the all door lock signal was received and acted upon. Illuminated entry is cancelled and the interior lamps are faded to off.

9001 - Rf Detector Originally Shipped In Kit Number(s) 9001.

Using special tool 9001 , first test to ensure that the transmitter is functioning. Typical testing distance is 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) for Asian transmitters and 30.5 centimeters (12 inches) for all others. To test, position the transmitter as shown. Press any transmitter button, then test each button individually. The tool will beep if a radio signal strength that lights five or more LED's is detected. Repeat this test three times. If transmitter fails any of the test refer to the Diagnostic Procedures manual.

HORN CHIRP TOGGLE

HORN CHIRP TOGGLE

The toggling of the horn chirp (between enabled and disabled) can be performed with the use of the scan tool or by the customer.

SCAN TOOL PROGRAMMING

When using the scan tool, select:

1. “TIPM”

 
2. “Miscellaneous Functions”

 

and then the desired function.

CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING

Using a transmitter programmed to the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module, the status of the horn chirp may be toggled by the customer.

1. With the ignition switch in RUN position, press and hold the transmitter UNLOCK button for a minimum of 4 seconds to a maximum of 10 seconds.

 
2. While holding the UNLOCK button for 4-10 seconds, press the LOCK button. A chime will be heard to indicate a successful toggle, at which time both buttons may be released.

 

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING

New Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can be programed using the scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual, if no functioning transmitter is available.

The following procedure can be used as long as one functioning transmitter is available:

1. Insert the key into the ignition switch, and turn the ignition switch to the RUN position (without starting the vehicle).

 
2. Using the RKE transmitter programmed to the RKE module, press and continuously hold down the UNLOCK button for 4-10 seconds.

 
3. Within the 4-10 second time range, continue to hold the UNLOCK button and press the PANIC button. Both buttons may then be released. Upon the PANIC button being depressed, the message for customer programming mode will be transmitted to the RKE module.

 
4. A chime will be heard to verify that the customer programming mode has been entered.

 
5. Press and release any button on each transmitter that is to be programmed to the RKE module, including any transmitters which were previously programmed to the RKE module (with a maximum of four possible). After each transmitter is successfully programmed, a chime will be heard to verify that successful programming of the transmitter has occurred.

 
6. After 30 seconds, or upon the ignition switch being turned OFF, a chime will indicate that the RKE module has exited the programming mode.

The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter case snaps open and shut for battery access. To replace the RKE transmitter batteries:

1. Using a thin coin, gently pry at the notch in the center seam of the RKE transmitter case halves near the key ring until the two halves unsnap.

 
2. Lift the back half of the transmitter case off of the RKE transmitter.

 
3. Remove the two batteries from the RKE transmitter.

 
4. Replace the two batteries with new Panasonic 2016, or equivalent. Be certain that the batteries are installed with their polarity correctly oriented.

BATTERY

The transmitter has two 3 volt batteries, which can be removed and replaced without special tools. Insert a dime in the side slot of the transmitter case and twist. The halves should separate and the batteries are stacked on top of each other. The batteries are available at local retail stores. Recommended batteries are Panasonic CR 2016 or equivalent. Typical battery life is about two years.

RANGE

Normal Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter operation range for vehicles manufactured for domestic markets is up to 20 meters (66 feet) away from the vehicle. On vehicles manufactured for export markets, normal RKE transmitter range is up to 10 meters (33 feet) away from the vehicle. If a domestic market vehicle is equipped with the optional factory-installed Remote Start System, the normal transmitter range is increased to up to 91 meters (300 feet). Please note that the actual RKE transmitter range values may be better or worse than specified above, depending upon many possible variables in the environment at the specific time and location that any RKE transmission is attempted.
