According to the diagram I’m looking at? The front door handle receives the entry signal from the key that’s in proximity to the vehicle (I think it’s something like within three feet). That signal is sent to a BCM (ECU), that then talks to other PAssive entry antennas on the vehicle to unlock the door. Simultaneously it talks to the PCM and IPC through the Gateway module, sending a Passive Entry enable signal. Those modules talk to the ignition switch allowing the vehicle to be started. Looks like this happens on what’s called the High Speed CAN network. So the question is, if I can access this network via something like the PCM and the PCM isn’t properly configured to prevent this, can I override the network without having the key with sufficient tech? That’s problematic for a lot of reasons. So no. I don’t think you should be able to go to a junkyard or pick and pull and buy a module that could compromise your network and I don’t understand why anyone would want that. You absolutely can buy a module from the manufacturer and get a shop (not even a dealership, just an independent shop with the right tools) to configure a module.
