CaptainBlue Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Should the battery go flat, can you still open the driver's door with the key ? That is to say without the EKA code ? The range rover is a 1999 HSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 You can open the door with just the key, you don't need the EKA code. The EKA code is just to get past security, if synchronisation between the BECM and the engine ECU is lost. A '99 model will have 'friendly resynchronisation', so will mostly do it automatically when the key is placed in the ignition switch, and the power switched on (once there is enough power in the battery, of course).
