Here’s the scenario I was referring to:i think this has to do with the locking from the inside. You will notice that without any of the proximity kit install and without the vehicle system being reprogrammed, you cannot lock the doors from inside the vehicle while the vehicle is running with the doors open.
Vehicle off: doors will unlock and lock with doors opened or closed.
vehicle running: doors will lock and unlock with door closed. **** doors will only unlock with door open. It will not lock.
I’m currently testing this theroy while sitting in my gladiator. Just like if you put the vehicle in drive with brake still applied, open the door and the vehicle will lock it set up and require you to shift in to park. You will have to place in park, close door then shift back into drive to get the safety feature to go away. Also put your vehicle in drive and let off the brake, allow the truck to start rolling and the open the door. The vehicle with automatically apply brakes and you will have to do previous stated actions to start moving again. Your dash will also prompt you how to persons such actions
In a normal, fully functional passive entry system (and non passive entry system, for that matter), you can park the vehicle, shut it off, open the driver door, press the lock button on the inside driver door switch while still sitting inside the vehicle, get out of the vehicle, shut the driver door, and the doors will remain locked. That would be normal behavior.
What I’m curious might happen if there is a fault stored in the RF Hub pertaining to the passive entry system is that in the exact same scenario as above, except:
When you exit the vehicle and close the driver door, will the doors remain locked, or will the vehicle honk three times and unlock the doors. I do know that if there is a passive antenna fault stored in the RF Hub, it will default to failsafe, and unlock the doors. This is because the RF Hub can’t discern if the fob traveled from inside the vehicle to outside. I don’t know if the same behavior would happen if there is a missing door handle switch fault, though. Other than that, there’s no issue with not wanting to install the passenger side passive entry handle. Besides, not many people that I know of lock their doors first from the inside door lock switch before getting out of the vehicle.
