When the body control module (BCM) detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the LOCK position, it switches the door lock actuator lock control circuit to voltage. Since the door lock actuator lock control circuit is at ground potential within the BCM, the door lock actuators transitions to the LOCK position and when the BCM detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the UNLOCK position, it switches the door lock actuator unlock control circuit to voltage. Since the door lock actuator unlock control circuit is at ground potential within the BCM, the door lock actuators transitions to the UNLOCK position.

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.

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool RF Door Lock Switch and RF Door Unlock Switch parameters while using the passenger door lock switch. The parameter should change between Active and Inactive.

⇒	If the value does not change, refer to Passenger Door Lock Switch Malfunction.

2. Command all doors LOCK and UNLOCK by using the driver door lock switch. All doors should perform the LOCK and UNLOCK function.

⇒	If the doors do not LOCK/UNLOCK refer to Driver Door Lock Switch Malfunction.

3. Command all doors to LOCK and UNLOCK with a scan tool. All doors should perform the LOCK and UNLOCK function.

⇒	If the driver door does not LOCK or UNLOCK, refer to Driver Door Lock Malfunction.

⇒	If one or more vehicle doors do not LOCK or UNLOCK, refer to Door Lock Malfunction.

Passenger Door Lock Switch Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the front passenger door lock switch.
2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, test for greater than 10 volts between the signal circuit terminal F and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

4. Observe the scan tool RF Door Lock Switch parameter while installing a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal F and ground. The parameter should change from Inactive to Active.

⇒	If the parameter does not change, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

5. Test for greater than 10 volts between the signal circuit terminal G and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

6. Observe the scan tool RF Door Unlock Switch parameter while installing a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal G and ground. The parameter should change from Inactive to Active.

⇒	If the parameter does not change, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the passenger door lock switch.

Driver Door Lock Switch Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver door lock switch.
2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.

4. Observe the function of the door locks while installing a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal F and ground. The doors should perform the LOCK function.

⇒	If the doors do not LOCK, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

5. Test for greater than 10 volts between the signal circuit terminal G and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

6. Observe the function of the door locks while installing a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal G and ground. The doors should perform the UNLOCK function.

⇒	If the doors do not UNLOCK, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the driver door lock switch.

Driver Door Lock Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver door lock.
2. Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 3 and control circuit terminal 2.
3. Command the driver door to LOCK and UNLOCK with a scan tool. The test lamp should illuminate when changing between the commanded states.

⇒	If the test lamp is always OFF, during either of the commands, test either control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.

⇒	If the test lamp is always ON, test either control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.

4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the driver door lock.
