1

Use an ohmmeter to test continuity between terminal A5 (L-BU) of ISU connector and ground.

Does the ohmmeter indicate the specified value?

0 ohms

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 2

2

Repair the open circuit between terminal A5 (L-BU) of the ISU connector and ground.

  1. Disconnect the ISU connector.
  2. Connect a fused jumper wire to the positive battery terminal.
  3. Connect another jumper wire to ground.
  4. Apply the positive jumper wire to terminal D6 (GY) of the ISU connector.
  5. Apply the grounded jumper wire to terminal D5 (BN) of the ISU connector.
  6. Switch the jumper wires so that the positive jumper is connected to terminal D5 (BN) and the grounded jumper is connected to terminal D6 (GY).

Do the ISU when power and ground are applied to terminals D6 and D5 of the ISU connector?

  1. Raise the power window in the driver's door.
  2. Disconnect the door lock connector at the top of the door lock. There are 3 connectors on the door lock. Use the schematic to verify the correct connector.
  3. Use an ohmmeter to measure the continuity between terminal A10 (BK) of the left door lock switch connector and ground.

Does the ohmmeter indicate the specified value?

  1. Make sure that the ISU connector is connected.
  2. Touch a grounded jumper wire to terminal B4 (L-BU) of the disconnected left door lock switch connector.
  3. Remove the grounded jumper wire and touch it to terminal B5 (L-BU/WH) of the disconnected door left lock switch connector.

Do the doors lock and unlock when terminals B5 and B4 are alternately grounded?

  1. Make sure all the lock rods are connected to the driver's door lock.
  2. If no disconnected lock rods are located, replace the driver's door lock with the integral door lock switch. Do not confuse the door lock with the lock cylinder. The door lock has 3 connectors: the lock switch, the lock solenoid, and the door contact switch. Use the schematic to verify the correct connector.
