Driver door beeps when open and key is out of ignition. What would cause this and what can I do to correct this?

In fact, when the ignition kill is activated, not even the ignition key starts the car. ... Then turn the ignition off and attempt to start the engine. ... system allows the driver to unlock the doors or trunk lid from outside of the vehicle without using a key.

Power locks will not work with keyless entry - key fob or the door lock switch on the drivers door ? Or any door lock switch ? Is this what your trying to say ?

The keyless entry system consists of the following components:

• vehicle security module
• keyless entry keypad
• remote transmitter

The door locks are controlled by the vehicle security module.

Power Lock
The power lock/unlock feature requests all of the vehicle doors, including the liftgate, be locked or unlocked upon a customer request from any interior door lock switch in the vehicle. The power door locking system functions independently of ignition status or vehicle speed. When the vehicle security module receives an unlock/lock command from any door lock control switch, the vehicle security module will activate relays internal to the module to supply the correct power and grounds for the door lock actuators.

Remote Transmitter Lock/Unlock Control - Unlock
The remote control feature provides lock/unlock functions independently of ignition status, vehicle speed or transmission position. The remote control feature provides a two-step process for unlocking the doors. Upon receipt of the first requests for unlocking the doors, the remote control feature requests the vehicle security module to unlock the driver door only. If another unlock request is received within three seconds of the first, the remote control feature will request that all doors be unlocked.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.

1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Chart Mechanical Electrical

• Binding latches

• Central junction box (CJB) fuse(s):
  • 5 (7.5A)
  • 30 (30A)
• Circuitry
• Relays
• Remote transmitter
• Keyless entry keypad
• Vehicle security module

1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.

1. If the diagnostic tool does not power up, refer to the diagnostic tool manual.

1. Carry out the diagnostic tool data link test. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
   • SCP, UBP or ISO; all elctrconic control unitw, no response/not equipped, refer to Section 418-00 .
   • No response, not equipped for vehicle security module, refer to Section 419-10 .
   • System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs, and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the vehicle security module.

1. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Vehicle Security Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics.

1. If DTCs are retrieved that are not found in the following Vehicle Security Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index, refer to the Master Vehicle Security Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index in Section 419-10 .

1. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics. Your best bet mite be to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop.

Activating Intelligent Access
General Information
You can unlock and lock the vehicle without taking the keys out of your pocket or purse when your intelligent access key is within 3 ft (1 m) of your vehicle. Intelligent access uses a sensor on the back of the door handle for unlocking and a separate sensor on the face of each door handle for locking.
The system does not function if:

• Your vehicle battery has no charge.
• The key battery has no charge.
• The key frequencies are jammed.

Note: The system may not function if the key is close to metal objects or electronic devices, for example keys or a cell phone.
Note: If the system does not function, use the key blade to lock and unlock your vehicle. See Remote Control.
Unlocking Using Intelligent Access
With your intelligent access key within 3 ft (1 m) of your vehicle, touch the unlock sensor on the back of the door handle for a brief period and then pull on the door handle to unlock, being careful to not touch the lock sensor at the same time or pulling the door handle too quickly. The intelligent access system requires a brief delay to authenticate your intelligent access key fob.
Locking Using Intelligent Access
With your intelligent access key within 3 ft (1 m) of your vehicle, touch the outer door handle lock sensor for approximately one second to lock, being careful to not touch the unlock sensor on the back of the door handle at the same time. After locking, you can immediately pull on the door handle to confirm locking occurred without inadvertently unlocking.
Note: Do not use the outside door handle as a roof cargo strap.

Press the exterior tailgate release button inside of the tailgate handle. The tailgate unlocks and opens. See Electronic Tailgate.
Smart Unlock
This feature helps to prevent you from locking your intelligent access key inside your vehicle's passenger compartment or rear cargo area.
If you leave your key in the ignition, when you open the driver door and lock your vehicle with the power door lock control, the doors lock then unlock.
You can still lock your vehicle with the key in the ignition by:

• Using the manual lock on the inside of the door.
• Locking the driver door with a key.
• Using the keyless entry keypad.
• Using the lock button on the remote control.

Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys
This feature helps to prevent you from locking your intelligent access key inside your vehicle's passenger compartment or rear cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the power door lock control (with the door open, vehicle in park and ignition off), your vehicle searches for an intelligent access key in the passenger compartment after you close the door. If your vehicle finds a key, all of the doors immediately unlock.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the intelligent access key inside your vehicle, you can lock your vehicle after all doors are closed by using the keyless entry keypad, pressing the lock button on another intelligent access key or touching the locking area on the handle with another intelligent access key in your hand.
When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle using the power door lock control, all doors lock then unlock if the ignition is on.
