1. Driver Door Lock Malfunction

2. Passenger Door Lock Malfunction

3. Rear Door Unlock Inoperative

4. Rear Door Lock Inoperative

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) internally grounds the door lock relay control circuit for the rear door lock relay when it receives a serial data message from the driver door module (DDM), passenger door module (PDM). When the BCM grounds the door lock relay control circuit the rear door lock relay is energized and locks the rear doors.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3130 00

The BCM detects a short to fault on the UNLOCK relay control circuit.

B3135 00

The BCM detects a short to ground on the LOCK relay control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The rear door locks will malfunction.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  1. The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
  2. When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.
  3. A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, command the rear doors to LOCK and UNLOCK with a scan tool. The rear doors should perform the LOCK and UNLOCK functions.

If B3135 00 is set, refer to Door Lock Malfunction
If B3130 00 is set, refer to Door Unlock Malfunction

Circuit/System Testing

Door Lock Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the LOCK relay.
  2. Test for less than 15 ohms between the relay coil ground circuit terminal and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the relay coil ground circuit terminal and the relay coil control circuit terminal.
  5. Ignition ON, command the rear doors to LOCK with a scan tool. The test lamp should briefly illuminate when commanding the LOCK state.
  6. If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM
    If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  7. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the LOCK relay.

Door Unlock Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the UNLOCK relay.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay coil B+ circuit terminal and ground.
  3. If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the relay coil B+ circuit terminal and the relay coil control circuit terminal.
  5. Command the rear doors to UNLOCK with a scan tool. The test lamp should briefly illuminate when commanding the UNLOCK state.
  6. If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM
    If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  7. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the UNLOCK relay

Component Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate relay.
  2. Test for 60-200 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
  3. If not within the specified range, replace the relay.
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
  5. • 30 and 86
    • 30 and 87
    • 30 and 85
    • 85 and 87
    If not the specified value, replace the relay.
  6. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87A.
  7. If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.
  8. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.
  9. If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.
