Door Lock System Components
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
| • | Driver door lock switch -- Provides a switched voltage signal to
the BCM for both lock and unlock switch activations |
| • | Front passenger door lock switch -- Provides a switched voltage signal
to the BCM for both lock and unlock switch activations |
| • | Door lock relay -- Located in the right I/P fuse block and controls
the locking of all doors |
| • | Door unlock relay -- Located in the right I/P fuse block and controls
the unlocking of all doors without keyless and the unlocking of the passenger doors
with keyless entry |
| • | Driver door unlock relay -- Located in the right I/P fuse block and
controls the unlocking of the driver door if equipped with keyless entry |
| • | BCM -- Class 2 module which requires programming when replaced |
| • | Reversible door lock actuators in each of the doors |
| • | BODY 10A fuse -- Located in the right I/P fuse block, supplies power
for the door lock switches and relays |
Door Lock System Controls
The power door lock system can be controlled by any of the following:
| • | Power door lock switch activation |
| • | Keyless entry lock or unlock command, if equipped |
| • | Delayed locking command |
| • | Automatic door lock command |
| • | Lockout prevention command |
Door Lock and Unlock Operation
When a door lock switch is activated in the lock or unlock position the BCM
will recieve a voltage signal on either the door lock switch lock/unlock signal circuits.
The BCM, upon receipt of a door lock switch lock or unlock signal, will switch
the appropriate door lock relay control circuit(s) to battery positive voltage. This
will energize the appropriate lock or unlock relay(s). The relay will supply voltage
to the door lock actuator lock or unlock control circuits to one side of the door
lock actuator. the opposing side of the door lock actuators are connected to ground
through the other door lock actuator control circuit and the normally closed contacts
of the lock or unlock relay and the doors will lock or unlock appropriately.
Vehicles without keyless entry have two relay s to control the door lock actuators.
All door lock and all door unlock. Vehicles equipped with keyless entry have three
relays. Driver door unlock, passenger door unlock and all door lock. This is done
to isolate the driver door lock actuator so it can be unlocked by itself using the
keyless entry transmitter.
Automatic Door Lock Operation
This BCM controlled feature can be personalized to driver preference. Refer

in Personalization.
The BCM will automatically lock the vehicle doors if the following conditions
exist:
| • | All vehicles doors are closed. |
| • | The ignition is in the ON position. |
| • | The vehicle is shifted out of PARK. |
The BCM will then unlock the doors when the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
Delayed Locking Operation
With any door open and a door lock switch is activated in the lock position,
the BCM will give three audible chimes. When the door is closed, the BCM will cycle
the internal door lock relay to lock the doors after approximately five seconds.
This feature can be overridden by activating the door lock switch a second time and
the doors will lock even with a door open.
Lockout Prevention Operation
The BCM will lock all doors and unlock the driver door with a door lock switch
lock activation if a vehicle door is open and the ignition key is fully inserted
in the ignition. The lockout prevention feature can be overridden if a lock command
is received from the keyless entry system.
Unlock After Air Bag Deployment
This feature will unlock all of the vehicle doors 15 seconds after an
air bag deployment.
