In general, there's an "RPO" code that tells you if you are equipped with keyless entry. I am unfamiliar with these codes. If you try entering "programming mode" that should tell you if it has keyless entry... 1)Close driver’s side door.... 2)Insert key into ignition and turn ignition to ON then back to OFF (ON is the position just shy of starting car without cranking engine)... 3)Remove key from ignition.... 4)Press and hold the UNLOCK switch on drivers door and continue to hold until instructed to release.... 5)Insert key into the ignition (do not turn it) and remove it.... 6)Insert key into the ignition (do not turn it) and remove it.... 7)Insert key into the ignition (do not turn it) and leave it in.... 8)Release the UNLOCK switch on driver’s side door. Vehicle will respond with three acoustic sounds to indicate successful entry into programming mode...---...If you hear this noise, you should have keyless entry and have just successfully cleared the previous memory. Steps 9 & 10 are for pairing remotes... 9)Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the first remote to be programmed for 15-20 seconds until the vehicle beeps twice indicating successful programming.... 10)Repeat Step 9 for all remaining remotes to be programmed to the vehicle..... Hope this helps.
