Circuit/System Description
The driver door lock actuator unlock control circuit is a dedicated control circuit used only for the driver door lock actuator motor. This is done so that the driver door may be unlocked by itself using a keyless entry transmitter or an automatic door unlock function, if programmed.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3142
The body control module (BCM) detects a short to ground on the door unlock control circuit for greater than 60 seconds.
B3143
The BCM detects a short to voltage or an open/high resistance in the door unlock control circuit for greater than 60 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The driver door lock actuator will not unlock when using the keyless entry transmitter.
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 driver door to UNLOCK and all doors to LOCK with a scan tool. The driver door should unlock and all doors should lock.
- Command the driver door to UNLOCK and all doors to LOCK with the keyless entry transmitter, the driver door should unlock and all doors should lock.
| ⇒ | If the keyless entry transmitter is inoperative, refer to Keyless Entry System Inoperative . |
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X2 at the driver door lock switch.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 13 and B+.
- Ignition ON, command the Driver Door Unlock with a scan tool. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UNLOCK state.
- If the circuit tests normal, replace the driver door lock switch.
| ⇒ | 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. |
