Additional Features
Dome/Porch Light Activation
The dome/porch light is activated for a timed duration (5-60 seconds)
whenever a keypad button is pressed or when system is unlocked from
FOB transmitter or vehicle switch. The time duration is dependent on
the trim pot A setting (see page 8). The dome/porch light is deactivated
with starting the engine and locking the entry doors.
e-PAD Protective Deactivating Security Feature
After repeated entry of incorrect codes (20 button presses without
enabling), the keypad enters an inactive mode that disables button
recognition for 1 minute. This helps prevent undesired access by
entering random codes. No beep will sound with button press while the
system is disabled.
e-GRAB Handle Lighting
The grab handle is lit continuously. The e-PAD is lit with a button press
and while training new access and authority codes.

authority code. See page 14 for further information on teaching keypad
a new authority code.
Status LED
LED flashes at power-up and provides short periodic pulses if voltage
supply is low.
Miscellaneous I/O Module Features
Door Locking and Unlocking
A short single pulse output provides locking and unlocking operation
to the entry doors (zone 1). The compartment doors (banks A-D) are
locked and unlocked with a single pulse. The locking and unlocking
pulses have opposite polarities. Locking and unlocking operations are
activated via vehicle switch inputs or according to e-PAD and e-FOB
instructions.
Lock and Unlock Confirmation
• Standard mode: The headlights flash once and the horn honks
once with a lock command. On unlock, the headlights flash
twice and the horn honks twice.
• Cargo mode: There is no unlock confirmation. The headlights
flash once and the horn honks once when either the entry or
compartment doors are locked. When both entry and
compartments doors are locked within 10 seconds, headlights
flash twice and the horn honks twice.
• Keypad: The headlights flash once and the horn honks once
with a lock command. On unlock, the headlights flash twice and
the horn honks twice.
• Locking and unlocking confirmation is deactivated while engine
is running.
Deactivate Lock Confirmation
The system defaults to confirmation ON with power-up. Horn and
headlight confirmation can be toggled off and on from the keypad.
1. Enter valid access code.
2. Hold down (9 / 0) or (4) button until double beep sounds.
Release.
3. Press (1 / 2) or (1) button.
Note: Lights flash and horn honks to indicate that you are setting horn
and headlight confirmation to ON.

Door Ajar Warning
A triple siren chirp sounds if any compartment or entry door is open
when the entry and compartment doors are locked. If a door is open,
the alarm is not armed.
Unidirectional Actuation Pulse
The J9 connector (Zone 6) actuation output provides a short pulse
when it is activated via a vehicle switch, keypad (depends on system
configuration), or FOB transmitter (depends on I/O module DIP switch
#4 setting). This can be used for a door opening, doorbell, battery
disconnect, etc. This short pulse output is prohibited while the engine is
running.
Alarm
After locking all doors, the system is armed. In cargo mode, both the
entry door and compartment doors must be locked within 10 seconds to
set the alarm. The alarm is activated when any entry door or
compartment door is opened, or by grounding the extra security input.
The extra security input could be connected to a shock sensing, motion
detection or other sensing device. When alarm is triggered, the siren is
continuously activated and headlights flash for 1 minute.
To deactivate alarm mode:
• Unlock all doors via FOB transmitter.
• Unlock system via keypad or vehicle switch.
• Start the engine.
The following table describes audio/visual activations at various
conditions.
Outputs Single Lock

Timed Dome/Porch Light Activation
The dome/porch light is activated upon pressing any keypad button or
by unlocking entry door via FOB transmitter. The activation duration is
controlled via trim pot A (see page 8). Starting the engine or locking the
doors deactivates the light.
Compartment Light Activation
Compartment lights are activated upon unlocking compartment doors
(bank A-D) or toggling vehicle switch. The activation duration is
controlled via trim pot C (see page 8). Starting the engine deactivates
the light.
Automatic Locking and Unlocking
When S2 DIP switch # 3 is ON the auto-locking feature is activated. All
doors are locked after the engine has been running for 5 seconds.
Doors unlock when the engine is turned off. To deactivate this feature,
move DIP switch #3 to OFF. The alarm is not enabled/disabled by
automatic locking/unlocking.
Auxiliary 1 Output Activation
Standard Mode: With proper wiring and system configuration, Aux 1
output can be activated with *button on FOB transmitter, via keypad, or
toggled with vehicle switch. The activation duration is controlled via trim
pot B. Starting the engine deactivates the output.

Teaching Keypad New Authority / Access
Codes
When you assign a new authority code, you delete the existing
authority code and all access codes.
Note: The authority code you assign following these instructions also
becomes an access code saved to the (1 / 2) or (1) button.
1. Cycle (short then open) the S1 pins of the I/O module learn
connector (Appendix B, page IV). There will be three-second
beep.
2. Enter a new five-digit code—this will be your access and
authority code.
3. Enter the new code again.
4. The existing code will only be erased if a new code is
assigned.
5. The code is stored in position one.
Important: Authority and access codes should not be the same. If
someone figures out an access code and discovers it to be an
authority code as well, they can then create their own access code
and gain entrance to your vehicle.
Once resetting the keypad, your next step should be to create a new
access code and store it in position one so as to ensure the access
code is no longer the same as the authority code.
Notes:
• The authority code is to be controlled by individuals (owners
of vehicle, fleet manager, etc.) who manage the distribution of
access codes to vehicle users.
• The authority code should be changed when the vehicle is
sold.
• The authority code does not enable secure functions (lock/
unlock doors, etc.)—it is only used to assign access codes.
The following area can be used to document the authority code:
Digit 1 Digit 2 Digit 3 Digit 4 Digit 5
Authority Code

Assign New Access Codes
With a valid authority code (see page 3 or 14), an access code can be
programmed with the following instructions.
1. Press the (5 / 6) or (3) button for 5 seconds, the keypad will
beep. The backlighting LED of the keypad will flash indicating
the learn mode.
2. Enter in the 5-digit authority code (see page 3 or 14). Keypad
will provide a long beep that will stop after you have defined an
access number.
3. Press and release the button that corresponds to the access
number. For example, press (1 / 2) or (1) button for access #1
and press (3 / 4) or (2) button for access #2. During this activity
you are defining 1 of 5 (4) access numbers. A subsequent code
will be assigned to this access #. The keypad will provide a
confirmation beep after this single button press.
4. Enter in your new 5-digit access code. The keypad will provide
confirmation beeps.
5. Re-enter new access code. The keypad will provide
confirmation beeps.
Repeat process to assign additional access codes.
Up to 5 (4 for doorbell keypad) different access codes can be assigned
at one time. As additional access codes are defined, pre-existing
access codes are overwritten. For example, if a new access code is
assigned for access #3, the previous access #3 code is no longer valid.
The following area can be used to document the access code
assignments.
