Door Lock System Controls

The power door lock system can be controlled by any of the following:

  • A door lock switch LOCK or UNLOCK activation
  • A mechanical key cylinder lock/unlock
  • A keyless entry transmitter activation
  • An automatic door lock activation
  • An automatic door unlock activation

Door Lock Operation

When the central door lock switch is activated in the lock or unlock position the BCM will receive a ground signal on either the door lock switch lock or unlock signal circuits.

The BCM, upon receipt of a lock switch lock or unlock signal, will supply voltage to the door lock actuator lock or unlock control circuits. Since the opposite side of the lock actuator is connected to ground through the other lock actuator control circuit, the doors will then lock or unlock as commanded.

The following three circuits are used to operate the lock:

  • Driver door unlock
  • Passenger door unlock
  • All door lock

Child Door Lockout Operation

The operator has the option to disable the interior rear door handles to prevent the unauthorized opening of the rear door doors while still retaining normal rear exterior door handle functions. When the child door lockout switch is pressed, the BCM will energize the door lock security relay, send a 12V pulse to the rear door latches activating the lockout feature and will command the child lockout indicator to illuminate. The rear door plungers will still function normally by pressing the central door lock switch but the child lockout latches will disable the interior rear door handles. Pressing the child lockout switch again will signal a command to the BCM which will de-energize the door lock security relay, send a 12V pulse to the rear door latches to de-active the lockout feature and restore normal interior rear door handle functions and the turn off the child lockout indicator.

The rear door latches contain switches that are open when the rear doors are not locked out and closed when the rear doors are locked out which is monitored by the BCM to determine the lockout status of rear door latches

If the child lockout indicator flashes while trying to lockout the rear door handles indicates that there is a fault detected in the child lockout system and one or both interior rear door handles may not be disabled.
