Yea, but the keypad is out there in the heat/cold 100% of the time compared to a fob which is generally kept at a pretty moderate temperature.

I recall a 10 year life on the battery.  I do not recall where I got that information.

If you get 6 years on new fobs with the push button start, you'd make a fortune selling that battery.  

 

We have customers in weekly with 2 and 3 year old vehicles needing new fob batteries.  They don't last anymore with keyless start.  The old stuff used to go 5-10 years not needing a fob battery.  

I actually got a " replace FOB battery soon"  39 months on the battery, probably got another few months before it goes out. Will need to replace it prior to our summer activities. 

 

Does anyone know if the key pad only uses energy when in use or does it constantly use energy like our FOBs?

I had one installed when I purchased truck. Basically its a regular remote entry fob (non passive) that is in the form of a keypad, and it sticks to the outside. You can definatly lock the doors with your keyfob inside or with the truck running as I do it all the time. Usefull when you are on the beach or walking the dogs and you dont want to loose the keyfob while you are doing so. Also good when you want to pick up the truck from service after hours and they can put the fob in console and lock the doors for you and when you get there, you use the keypad to unlock. Been almost 3 years and the batteries are still good. Does not use much power at all since it is in sleep mode when you are not pressing buttons. I use mine several times a day when I walk out to truck without my keys. If you press the 2 bottom keys at same time it will lock the doors with the fob inside. If you press and hold the bottom 2 keys at same time it will even fold the mirrors in like a normal remote does.

Hi, I have the same GM 85540054 (was 23473339) keypad entry on my Chevy Traverse. Was told that the batteries aren’t replaceable. BUT… I took the keypad off with dental floss, took off the cover, pried/popped the 12 little tabs one by one and the unit opened up. Standard CR2032 battery (you can see where it is between the two 3M tape parts! Replaced battery and popped it all back together. Didn’t need to re-program it either! Forgot to take a photo while replacing the battery but YES, battery is replaceable on GM/Chevy/Buick keypad entry!

      Mixed info from dealer and manual RE: 10 Speed 45K service

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm the original poster of this thread; I'm 85,000 miles now with no transmission issues after they did the fluid change without filter at 45,000.  I plan on a fluid change AND filter in another 5,000 miles and agree with you on staying to witness what happens if possible.  Ideally I would have done the filter at 45,000 too, but my original dealer was incompetent.  I've since moved on and get service done by another more reputable dealer, so I'm hopeful they follow the correct procedure at 90,000.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
