1. Door Lock Mlafunction

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM), upon receipt of a lock switch lock signal, will switch the door lock relay control circuit to battery positive voltage. This will energize the LOCK relay. The remaining unlock relays receive voltage from the underhood fuse block, the BCM upon receipt of a unlock signal or driver door unlock signal will switch the appropriate unlock relay to ground. This will energize the appropriate unlock relay unlocking the appropriate doors.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3125 00

The BCM detects a fault in the F/DR LCK relay control circuit.

B3130 00

The BCM detects a fault in the DOOR UNLOCK relay control circuit.

B3135 00

The BCM detects a fault in the DOOR LOCK relay control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The power door locks will not operate.

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 and passenger door latches to LOCK and UNLOCK with the scan tool, all doors should perform the LOCK and UNLOCK function.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the I/P fuse block.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 56 and ground.
  3. Ignition ON, command the Lock Doors ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
  4. If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 54 and B+.
  6. Command the Driver Door Unlock ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
  7. 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 and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  8. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 58 and B+.
  9. Command the Unlock Doors ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
  10. 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 and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  11. If all circuits test normal, replace the I/P fuse block.
