e-FOB Operation and Features
The FOB transmitter and receiver are shipped programmed. After making all necessary
wiring connections (see pages 9-12), the e-FOB system will function as indicated below.
Only the entry unlock function of the e-FOB remains while the engine is running - other
functions are deactivated. Both the Entry Lock and Cargo Lock must be pressed to arm the
alarm system. Press the Entry or Cargo Unlock button to disarm the system and deactivate
the alarm mode.
• Entry Lock: Locks all entry doors and arms security system.
• Entry Unlock: Unlocks entry doors and disarms security system. Also activates the
porch light.

e-PAD Operation and Features
The e-PAD is shipped with default Authority and Access codes. When all necessary wiring
connections are made, the e-PAD system will function as indicated below. Unless the OEM
or dealer has changed default codes, the Authority and Access codes are as follows:
Access code:
Digit 1
Digit 2
Digit 3
Digit 4
Digit 5
1 / 2
3 / 4
5 / 6
7 / 8
9 / 0
Authority code:

Locking doors with keypad:
Regardless of the configuration of the system, e-PAD locking operation (lock all doors) is
accomplished by pressing and holding down the first button (1 / 2) for 1-2 seconds. An
access code is not needed to lock the doors.
Unlocking doors with keypad and other secure operations:
After access codes have been assigned secure e-PAD operations can be accomplished by
enabling the keypad. The keypad is enabled by entering a valid 5-digit access code. After
entering an access code, the keypad is enabled for 5 seconds and a sixth button press
initiates a secure operation, such as door unlocking or other operations. Entering the correct
access code alone will not initiate a secure operation.
The following sequence illustrates how to perform secure operations with e-PAD.
• Enter a valid 5-digit access code (see default access code information above and
page 15). Confirmation beeps indicate the system is enabled.
• Press the (3 / 4) button within 5 seconds and all doors will unlock.
If an unassigned button or no button is pressed while the system is enabled, the keypad
reverts back to disabled state.
The e-ASK system can be configured in 1 of 4 ways, as defined by #1 and #2 DIP Switch
settings on I/O module (see page 4 for e-PAD configuration information). The secure keypad
operations are set depending on system configuration.

e-PAD Configurations:
SECURE OPERATIONS ARE DEPENDENT ON SYSTEM CONFIGURATION. After
entering the access code, one must press a 6th digit to unlock specific doors or perform an
operation according to the following listing.
6th Button Press Operation
• Configuration A [SW 1 off / SW 2 off]:
o Button (1/2): Unassigned
o Button (3/4): Unlocks all entry and compartment doors
o Button (5/6): Unassigned
o Button (7/8): Activates zone 6 unidirectional actuation
o Button (9/0): Toggles Aux 1 output
• Configuration B [SW 1 off / SW 2 on]:
o Button (1/2): Unlocks all entry door(s)
o Button (3/4): Unlocks all entry and compartment doors
o Button (5/6): Unassigned
o Button (7/8): Activates zone 6 unidirectional actuation
o Button (9/0): Toggles Aux 1 output
• Configuration C [SW 1 on / SW 2 off]:
o Button (1/2): Unlocks all entry doors
o Button (3/4): Unlocks all doors assigned to relay bank A
o Button (5/6): Unlocks all doors assigned to relay bank B
o Button (7/8): Unlocks all doors assigned to relay bank C
o Button (9/0): Unlocks all doors assigned to relay bank D
• Configuration D [SW 1 on / SW 2 on]:
o Button (1/2): Unlocks all entry doors
o Button (3/4): Unlocks all entry and compartment doors
o Button (5/6): Unlocks all curb side compartment doors (relay banks C-D)
o Button (7/8): Unlocks all driver side compartment doors (relay banks A-B)

See the table on page 6 for S2 DIP switch assignments.
e-PAD / e-FOB 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 6). The dome/porch light is
deactivated with starting the engine.
e-PAD Protective Deactivating Security Feature:
After repeated entry of incorrect codes (20 button presses without enabling), the keypad is
deactivated for 1 minute. This helps prevent unauthorized access by entering random
codes. No beep will sound with button press while the system is disabled.

e-PAD Backlighting Power Management Feature:
In order to provide continuous backlighting, but not drain the vehicle battery, the e-PAD
deactivates backlighting if battery voltage is low. If voltage is below 11 volts, then continuous
backlighting is shutoff until the battery is fully charged. When continuous backlighting is off,
the keypad still “wakes” up when a button is pressed. In this case, the backlighting is
activated for only two minutes.
e-ASK I/O Module Operation and Features
The following vehicle switch assignments of connector J2 (see page 11), pins 1 thru 6 define
