Circuit Description (Domestic)
The driver door key switch is contained within the driver door latch assembly. The driver door key cylinder switch contacts, which are normally open, receive a constant ground via the ground circuit. When the door key is turned to unlock, the switch contacts close and the DDM detects a switched ground. The DDM sends a message via GMLAN serial data to the RCDLR, indicating the key cylinder unlock switch request. The RCDLR is the master of all lock and unlock operations. If the RCDLR determines that the key cylinder unlock switch request is valid and conditions are correct for the door modules to perform the unlock function, it sends a message via GMLAN serial data back to all door modules to unlock all doors. For more detailed information concerning power door lock operation refer to Power Door Locks Description and Operation .

DTC Symptom | DTC Symptom Descriptor |
|---|---|
02 | Short to Ground |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The DDM must be powered. |
| • | DTC B1325 Battery Voltage Out of Range, must not be current. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DDM detects that the door key lock/unlock switch is closed for more than 30 continuous seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The DDM ignores inputs from the key cylinder switch until the switch changes state.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | You issue a scan tool CLEAR DTCs command. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 40 consecutive malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred. |
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittently sticking key cylinder switch can cause this DTC to set. Thoroughly inspect the wiring and connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis causing part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction. If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
