Remote Entry System
Remote keyless entry (RKE) systems provide an entirely new level of convenience to the car. They make it unnecessary to look for a key in dark areas or struggle to insert it into a lock. They also let you unlock the trunk. This is particularly useful when loading groceries or carrying packages. The system lets you start the car without a key.
If the range is within the key fob transmits a radio signal containing a digital identification code to the computer onboard of the car. G28 compares the code to a stored list of approved codes and allows access. In the majority of cases, the signal is one-way and can't be used to unlock doors from greater than 50 feet away.
Every time you press a button on your Mitsubishi key fob, it sends out an unique RF signal. The car's receiver detects the signals and demodulates them, transforming them to extract the data. It also removes unwanted RF signals. The data stream is then transmitted to a central processing unit (CPU), who decodes it and transmits commands to the command module.
These systems use lots of power due to the fact that they are wireless. They must remain on continuously to watch for signals from the key fob, therefore the battery needs to last for a long duration. This makes it difficult to achieve a suitable range and an affordable price.
To further protect yourself, most RKE systems employ a method called rolling code. Every time an RKE transmitter receives a signal to authenticate, it sends a new digital identification signal with a counter that has been increased. This blocks hackers from replaying previously accepted transmissions and getting access to a home or vehicle.
Despite their advanced design, RKE systems are not immune to breakage or malfunction. One of the most common issues are the lack of response when attempting to lock, unlock, or remotely start your car. The two most common causes of this problem are a programming issue or a dead battery in your car.
