DEFINITION: This diagnostic table should be used to diagnose a failure of the rear door lock switch or one rear door lock actuator.

Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle

Activate the rear door lock switch to the lock and unlock positions.

Do both rear passenger doors lock and unlock?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

Go to Step 3

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Monitor the rear door lock switch data parameter in the BCM Data List.

Is the data parameter active without a switch activation?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 4

1. With the scan tool, monitor the rear door lock switch data parameter in the body control module (BCM) Data List.
2. Activate the door lock switch to both the lock and unlock positions.

Does the data parameter change with each switch activation?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 6

Disconnect the rear door lock switch.

Does the data parameter now display an inactive state?

Go to Step 10

Go to Step 9

1. Disconnect the rear door lock switch.
2. Connect a test lamp to ground.
3. Probe the rear door lock switch ground circuit.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 13

1. Disconnect the inoperative door lock actuator.
2. With a test lamp connected to a good ground, probe the door lock actuator lock circuit at the door lock actuator harness connector.
3. Activate a door lock switch to lock position.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 14

1. With a test lamp connected to a good ground, probe the door lock actuator unlock circuit at the door lock actuator harness connector.
2. Activate a door lock switch to unlock position.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 12
