DEFINITION: This diagnostic table is for problems with passenger door locks only or all door locks on vehicles without keyless entry. Ignore the driver door lock when using this table on vehicles with keyless entry.

Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check for the door systems?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Door Systems

Verify that the power door locks inoperative - passenger door fault is present.

Does the system operate normally?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

1. Connect a scan tool.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Close all the doors.
4. Using the scan tool, observe the Door Lock Switch input into the BCM.

Does the scan tool display Idle?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 4

Test the door lock lock/unlock signal circuit into the BCM for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 29

Go to Step 24

1. With the scan tool, observe the Door Lock Switch input while performing the next two actions.
2. Press the driver door lock switch to lock and then to unlock.
3. Press the passenger door lock switch to lock and then to unlock.

Does the scan tool display Lock for the lock conditions and Unlock for the unlock conditions from both switches?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 7

1. Place all of the door lock knobs in the unlock position by hand.
2. Command the door locks to lock from any door lock switch.
3. Place all the door lock knobs in the lock position by hand.
4. Command the door locks to unlock from any door lock switch.

Did any of the door locks lock or unlock?

Go to Step 10

Go to Step 11

Using a test lamp connected to battery positive voltage, probe the ground circuit to each unresponsive door lock switch.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 24

1. Using a fused jumper connected to a good ground, probe the door lock lock/unlock signal circuit at each door lock switch harness connector.
2. Observe the scan tool.

Does the scan tool display lock in each case?

Go to Step 24

Go to Step 9

Test the door lock lock/unlock signal circuit for an open or high resistance.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 29

Go to Step 21

1. Remove the door lock relay and the door unlock relay.
2. With a test lamp connected to ground, probe the door lock control circuit at the door lock relay socket.
3. Observe the test lamp while commanding the door locks to lock with any door lock switch.
4. With a test lamp connected to ground, probe the door unlock control circuit at the door unlock relay socket.
5. Observe the test lamp while commanding the door locks to unlock with any door lock switch.
6. Reinstall both relays.

Did the test lamp illuminate for each circuit when commanded to lock or unlock?

Go to Step 16

Go to Step 20

Test the door lock relay battery positive voltage circuit for high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 29

Go to Step 12

Test the door lock relay battery positive voltage circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 29

Go to Step 13

Test the door lock relay and the door unlock relay ground circuits for high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 29

Go to Step 14

Test both door lock and unlock control circuits between the BCM and relays for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 29

Go to Step 15

Test both door lock actuator lock and unlock control circuits between the relays and lock actuators for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 29

Go to Step 16

1. With a test lamp connected to ground, probe the door lock actuator lock control circuit at an inoperative actuator.
2. While observing the test lamp, command the door locks to lock from either door lock switch.

Did the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 17

Go to Step 23

1. With a test lamp connected to ground, probe the door lock actuator unlock control circuit at an inoperative actuator.
2. While observing the test lamp, command the door locks to unlock from either door lock switch.

Did the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 18

Go to Step 23

Did the test lamp stay illuminated for either of the door lock actuator lock or unlock control circuits even without commanding the door locks to do anything?

Go to Step 27

Go to Step 19

Test the door lock actuator lock and unlock control circuits for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 29

Go to Step 22

1. Test the inoperative door lock control circuit for an open.
2. Test the inoperative door unlock control circuit for an open.

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
