F250 6.4L diesel. I need the factory 5-digit entry code for the keyless entry keypad which "is marked on the computer module" according to the owners manual. Where is this computer module? Thank you.

NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

NOTICE: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage may result.

The SJB controls the power door lock system.
The SJB monitors the door lock/unlock switch inputs from the interior door lock switches.
When the SJB receives an unlock/lock command from any door lock control switch, the module activates the door lock actuators.
The SJB also controls the following remote lock/unlock features:

Remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter lock/unlock
Panic alarm (button is part of the RKE transmitter)
Keyless entry keypad
The SJB controls the autolamp subsystem.
The autolamp subsystem provides light-sensitive automatic on/off control of the headlamps and parking lamps.
The SJB controls the battery saver, delayed accessory function, exterior and interior lighting and the horn.

The SJB controls the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for the late build vehicles only.

Early build vehicles do not have this feature. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Thanks. I pulled the SJB; there are two labels on the back but no single big 5-digit numbers that appear to be the code. Where is it?

Rv4jesus,

I have the same exact issue. How did you end up finding the 5-digit code? Can you help? Thanks.

My door mounted keyless entry system has quit working. Not sure if this other problem is related, but the door locks no longer lock automatically when the truck is in drive and under power. Any suggestions on the fix?

I have seen this problem several times before. Most often it is the keypad itself that is bad. One of the buttons is probably sticking and therefore sending a signal to the module. As long as the module is getting the signal, it will not autolock the doors. You can take it to a shop and have them test the system. The dealership can even tell you which button it is based on there computer diagnostics.

The keyless entry and the power door locks are not working. I can hear the actuators trying to move but the locks don't.

If you hear it trying most likely and very common is the actuators no good need to remove door panel and check

TEST A: ONE POWER DOOR LOCK INOPERATIVE
Manually operate inoperative door lock and check for binding or sticking lock. If door lock is not binding or sticking, go to next step. If door lock is binding or sticking, repair or replace as necessary and retest system operation.
Ensure ignition is off. Remove door trim panel and disconnect suspect door lock actuator connector. Check voltage between ground and door lock actuator connector Pink/Black wire terminal while pressing door lock switch to LOCK position. If more than 10 volts exists and vehicle is not equipped with remote keyless entry, go to next step. If more than 10 volts exists, left door lock is inoperative and vehicle is equipped with remote keyless entry system, go to step 4). If 10 volts or less exists, repair Pink/Black wire and retest system operation.
Check voltage between ground and door lock actuator connector Pink/Orange wire terminal while pressing door lock switch to UNLOCK position. If more than 10 volts exists, replace door lock actuator and retest system operation. If 10 volts or less exists, repair Pink/Orange wire and retest system operation.
Check voltage between ground and left door lock actuator connector Red/Orange wire terminal while pressing door lock switch to UNLOCK position. If more than 10 volts exists, replace door lock actuator and retest system operation. If 10 volts or less exists, go to next step.
Remove driver unlock relay located behind right side of dash. Measure resistance in Red/Orange wire between driver unlock relay connector terminal No. 30 and left door lock actuator connector. See Fig. 3. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Red/Orange wire and retest system operation.
Check voltage between ground and driver unlock relay connector terminal No. 87A while pressing door lock switch to UNLOCK position. See Fig. 3. If more than 10 volts exists, replace driver unlock relay and retest system operation. If 10 volts or less exists, repair Pink/Orange wire and retest system operation.

If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair Pink/Orange wire and retest system operation. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Pink/Black wire and retest system operation.
Disconnect left power door lock switch connector. Measure resistance between ground and left door lock switch connector Black wire terminals. If both resistance readings are less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If either resistance reading is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Black wire(s) and retest system operation.
Check left door lock switch. See DOOR LOCK SWITCH under COMPONENT TESTS. If left door lock switch is okay, go to next step. If left door lock switch is not okay, replace left door lock switch and retest system operation.
Measure resistance in Pink/Yellow wire between left door lock switch connector and right door lock switch connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair open in Pink/Light Green wire (unlock circuit) and retest system operation. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Pink/Yellow wire (lock circuit) and retest system operation.
Lock and unlock doors using remote transmitter. Make sure to press UNLOCK button twice when unlocking. If door locks are completely inoperative, go to next step. If door locks only lock, go to step 15). If door locks only unlock, go to step 18).
Remove all unlock relay located behind right side of dash. Measure resistance between ground and all unlock relay connector terminal No. 87A (Black wire). See Fig. 3. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Black wire and retest system operation.
Check voltage between ground and all unlock relay connector terminal No. 86 (Black/White wire). See Fig. 3. If more than 10 volts exists, go to next step. If 10 volts or less exists, repair Black/White wire and retest system operation.
Check all lock and all unlock relays. See ALL LOCK, ALL UNLOCK & DRIVER UNLOCK RELAYS under COMPONENT TESTS. If relays are okay, go to next step. If any relay is not okay, replace relay(s) and retest system operation.
Remove driver unlock relay located behind right side of dash. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance in Pink/Orange wire between driver unlock relay connector terminal No. 87A and all unlock relay connector terminal No. 30. See Fig. 3. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Pink/Orange wire and retest system operation.
Remove door trim panel and disconnect right door lock actuator connector. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance in Pink/Black wire between all lock relay connector terminal No. 30 and right door lock actuator. See Fig. 3. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to appropriate REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEMS article. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Pink/Black wire and retest system operation.
Ensure ignition is off. Remove all unlock relay located behind right side of dash. Check voltage between ground and all unlock relay connector terminals No. 86 and 87. See Fig. 3. If more than 10 volts exists at both terminals, go to next step. If 10 volts or less exists at either terminal, repair Black/White wire(s) and retest system operation.
Measure resistance between ground and all unlock relay connector terminal No. 87A. See Fig. 3. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Black wire and retest system operation.
