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 switch (DDS) or passenger door switch (PDS). 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 battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to ground on the door lock relay control circuit for greater than 60 seconds
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The rear doors will not lock when using the door lock switch.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present. |
| • | When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC |
| • | 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 LOCK and UNLOCK when changing between the commanded states.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the LOCK relay.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 86 and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal 86 and the control circuit terminal 85
- Command the rear doors to LOCK and UNLOCK with a scan tool. The test lamp should briefly illuminate when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the LOCK relay.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | 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. |
Component Testing
Relay Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the LOCK relay.
- Test for 60-200 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87A.
- Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the 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.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the relay. |
| • | 30 and 86 |
| • | 30 and 87 |
| • | 30 and 85 |
| • | 85 and 87 |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, replace the relay. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the relay. |
| ⇒ | If greater than specified range, replace the relay. |
