1. Driver Door Latch Malfunction

3. Rear, Middle, Back Door Unlock Inoperative

4. Rear, Middle, Back Door Lock Inoperative

5. Release Switch Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The rear passenger door locks are controlled by the body control module (BCM). When a door lock switch is operated to the lock position, the BCM applies voltage to the rear door lock actuator lock control circuit which energizes the lock relay. With the lock relay coil energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow from the REAR DR LCK fuse through the relay switch contacts to the left and right door lock/unlock motors. A ground path is provided by the unlock relay controlled output circuit through the unlock relay switch contacts to ground. The process to unlock the rear doors reverses the flow of current. The BCM applies ground to the rear door lock actuator unlock control circuit which energizes the unlock relay coil. With the unlock relay coil energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow from the REAR DR LCK fuse through the relay switch contacts to the left and right door lock/unlock motors. Ground is provided through the lock relay controlled output circuit through the lock relay switch contacts to ground .

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

When the BCM detects a fault in the rear door lock relay control circuit.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM will disable all lock requests.

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 rear doors to LOCK and UNLOCK with a scan tool. The rear doors should perform the LOCK and UNLOCK functions.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the DR LCK relay.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
  5. Ignition ON, command the rear door locks to LOCK and UNLOCK with a scan tool. The test lamp should briefly illuminate when changing between the commanded states.
  6. 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.
  7. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the DR LCK relay.

Component Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the DR LCK relay.
  2. Test for 60-200 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
  3. If not within the specified range, replace the relay.
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
  5. • 30 and 86
    • 30 and 87
    • 30 and 85
    • 85 and 87
    If not the specified value, replace the relay.
  6. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87A.
  7. If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.
  8. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.
  9. If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
