Circuit Description

The keyless entry antenna - rear compartment is located in the rear compartment area and is used as a short range low frequency (LF) antenna. As a vehicle with a closed rear compartment lid is approached with a keyless entry transmitter and the exterior rear compartment lid release pad is pressed, the keyless entry antenna broadcasts a challenge to the transmitter in an approximate 1 meter range. If the response from the transmitter via radio frequency (RF) is valid, the latched rear compartment will be passively unlatched, allowing the rear compartment lid to be opened.
