Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system is used to lock and unlock vehicle doors, trunk and release fuel door. Transmitters consists of 4 buttons which control door lock, door unlock, fuel filler door unlock and trunk release. System also uses existing power door lock components. Transmitter sends signals directly to Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM then locks/unlocks doors, opens trunk or opens fuel filler door directly.
