Yo YJ,
"RKE:
●
This diagram is NOT specific to, OR correct for, any year or model, but most of the connector numbers are for a '96 Bronco. This combined diagram includes ALL inputs & outputs for an imaginary vehicle with every available circuit used (plus a few minor additions that Ford never offered). I combined them because every feature of the RKE system is present in every RKE module, regardless what vehicle that module was originally installed in, or how few features that vehicle originally used. So everything shown here can be added (with relatively little effort) to any vehicle with this RKE module. RKE became an option in '94 F-series/Broncos, and the module is immediately forward of the dash pocket beside the steering column. Theft was available in '94-95 only in trucks with RKE, and that module is above the dash register to the R of the instrument cluster.
This module can be added to almost any vehicle, utilizing as FEW features as necessary. IOW: it's not necessary to have PL or RKE to have BatterySaver or IlluminatedEntry. Adding the COMPLETE system to a vehicle NOT originally equipped is VERY labor-intensive since many circuits must be modified, isolated, extended, or added. Connectors must also be repinned or added. Most of the wiring harnesses must be removed from the vehicle to do the work, so it's not a shade-tree job, and even for an experienced electrician, it takes many hours. So the option of adding only certain features makes this much more enticing.
For vehicles with more doors, extra lock motors must ultimately be connected between splices 304 & 306; extra lock switches between splices 301, 302, & ground; extra courtesy switches between splices 212 & 251; extra handle switches between S323 & ground. A KE pad may be added in parallel to the one shown, but a fault in one would interfere with the other, as would simultaneous use.
SYSTEM FEATURES
Illuminated Entry
When a door handle is operated or any keyless entry pad button is pressed (except 7 & 9 to trigger LOCK) or any remote button (except LOCK) is pressed, the illuminated entry circuit (all courtesy lights) & keypad backlight are powered for approximately 25 sec. The feature is deactivated if the key is in RUN or ACC. Illuminated Entry activation also enables the Battery Saver power.
Battery Saver
Power is disconnected from this circuit AND illuminated entry approximately 45min after the key is turned OFF, even if a door is left open. Power is restored to battery saver when the key is turned to RUN or ACC, a door or the trunk is opened, a door handle is operated, a KE pad button is pressed, or a remote button is pressed. Power is restored to illuminated entry as described above. (From what I've observed, circuit 464 Bk/Pk at C242-20 behaves as if it's merely an extension of the Battery Saver circuit, but I haven't examined the PC board to confirm that.)
AutoLock
The module can automatically lock all doors when ALL of these conditions are met:
1) feature is active within the RKE module memory
2) all doors are closed (circuit 627 Bk/Or is not grounded)
3) key in RUN (circuit 182 Br/Wh is powered)
4) driver's seat occupied (circuit 177 W grounded)
5) backup lights are on (shifter passes through Reverse position; circuit 140 Bk/Pk is powered)
To switch the feature off or on, enter the permanent code, within 5sec hold 7/8, within 5sec more press & release 3/4, release 7/8. Any time battery voltage is disconnected and reconnected, the autolock feature will be activated. Attempting to start a vehicle with a weak battery may also activate the autolock feature.
KEYPAD
Keypad is used to enter codes & trigger features of the system. The factory code is printed on the module label, on a label in the trunk, and on the card provided with the owner's manual. One user-set code may also be programmed or erased. Any sequence of buttons must occur within 5sec of the previous button or the system will revert to secured. The only exception is the lock-all command (7/8 plus 9/0) which works without any previous code and also arms THEFT (if present). All other commands must follow the permanent or user entry code. When a code is entered correctly, the driver's door unlocks and THEFT (if present) is disarmed. To add or erase a personal code, press 1/2 within 5sec (followed by a personal code to add, or not to erase). To unlock all others, press 3/4 within 5sec. To trigger the trunk release (if equipped), press 5/6 within 5sec. To change AutoLock, hold 7/8 while pressing 3/4. There is no published function assigned to the 9/0 button.
REMOTE FEATURES
Remote is powered by two 2016 batteries and typically operates up to 33feet from the vehicle. The system can be programmed to recognize up to 4 remotes and will output on discrete circuits to a seat/mirror memory module for the first 2. Other than the #1 & #2 memory outputs, the RKE module does not distinguish between the remotes which it has been programmed to recognize. To program remotes, follow the procedure in the TSB linked below.
Remote Buttons
Press LOCK to lock all doors & arm THEFT (if present). To confirm LOCK, press LOCK again to hear the horn beep and see the parking lights flash. To cause the horn & lights to continue for approximately 2:45 and trigger illuminated entry, press PANIC. To cancel PANIC, press PANIC on the same remote, or turn the key to RUN. To unlock the driver's door and disarm/reset THEFT (if present), press UNLOCK; to unlock all, press UNLOCK again within 5sec. Pressing TRUNK causes the RKE module to pulse the trunk release solenoid hot for ~1/2sec.
Pressing UNLOCK on the first programmed remote (thus called REMOTE 1) also causes MEMORY OUTPUT 1 to be grounded momentarily; remote 2 UNLOCK triggers MEMORY OUTPUT 2; other remotes have no effect on memory outputs.
NON-STANDARD WIRING for '94-96 Broncos & '94-96 ('97 >8500GVWR) F-series:
- bumper compartment lights
- puddle lights
- lock cylinder lights
- cargo reverse relay (55 Bk/Pk should go to S305)
- t/g courtesy switch
- seat switch
- trunk lamp
- trunk release
- seat memory
- KE switch (keypad)
- THEFT was only available in '94-95
- overhead console & vanity mirrors (dual visors) were optional, but common on trucks with RKE
- stealth switch
When in STEALTH position, this switch allows the driver's door to be opened without triggering illuminated entry. All other features including THEFT are unaltered, so the horn will sound if armed. Opening the t/g with the added courtesy switch while THEFT is active will also trigger the horn. "
