Circuit/System Description

The driver and front passenger power door lock switches are integral components of the driver door lock/window switch and passenger door lock/window switch. The switches consist of 2 positions, lock and unlock, and are in the normally open state. When placed in either the lock or unlock positions, the switches provide a direct input to there respective door control module. When a power door lock switch is operated to the lock or unlock position, the associated door control module responds by sending a serial data message indicating a change in the switch's position. This serial data message is received by the opposite door control module as well as the body control module (BCM). The driver door lock/window switch and passenger door lock/window switch respond to the lock/unlock request by activating their associated power door lock motors to the appropriate direction to lock or unlock the front doors. The BCM is responsible for controlling the left rear door latch, right rear door latch. The BCM, upon receipt of a lock or unlock serial data signal, will control either the rear door lock or unlock relay. When the appropriate door lock relay is energized, the rear power door latches will lock or unlock the rear doors.
