Summary
12227A - SERVICE UPDATE (CLARIFICATION OF PURPOSE STATEMENT). AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR, THE VEHICLE WILL RUN CHECKS FOR 2 SECONDS TO DETERMINE IF THE RKE TRANSMITTER HAS BEEN LEFT IN THE VEHICLE. DURING THIS TWO SECOND TIME WINDOW, THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE TOUCHPAD WILL NOT LOCK THE DOORS WHEN TOUCHED, AND THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. THE TOUCHPAD WILL FUNCTION NORMALLY AFTER THE 2 SECOND WINDOW. DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE KEYLESS ENTRY CONTROL MODULE TO REDUCE THE TIME THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT REACT TO THE DOOR HANDLE TOUCH PAD (FROM APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS TO ABOUT 1 ½ SECONDS).
