If no and one or more buttons do not illuminate, go to TEST D: ONE OR MORE BUTTONS DO NOT ILLUMINATE DOOR LOCK TOUCHPAD WHEN DEPRESSED  .
  3. Unlock the driver side door from the door lock touchpad using the customer's personal code (supplied by customer). Does the left hand (driver side) front door unlock? If yes, go to next step.

If door still fails to unlock, go to TEST D: ONE OR MORE BUTTONS DO NOT ILLUMINATE DOOR LOCK TOUCHPAD WHEN DEPRESSED  .

If no, go to TEST D: ONE OR MORE BUTTONS DO NOT ILLUMINATE DOOR LOCK TOUCHPAD WHEN DEPRESSED  .

  6. Unlock all doors using the left hand front door or right hand front door lock switch. Move driver side lock knob to the locked position. All doors should lock. Repeat procedure using driver side key cylinder switch. Does the lock knob switch function properly? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to TEST F: POWER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY  .
  7. Take the key out of the ignition lock cylinder. Make sure all doors are securely closed. If more than 6 seconds has elapsed since the last step, (if the door lock touchpad lamp has gone out), re-enter the customer's personal code. Press the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons simultaneously, within 6 seconds of entering the code. Do all the doors lock? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to TEST G: DOORS DO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK USING DOOR LOCK TOUCHPAD  .
  8. Take the key out of the ignition lock cylinder. Make sure all doors are securely closed. Press any button on the door lock touchpad. Do the interior lamps turn on and does the beeper sound? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to TEST E: ILLUMINATED ENTRY OR BEEPER DOES NO FUNCTION WHEN DOOR LOCK TOUCHPAD BUTTON IS DEPRESSED  .
  9. The customer's personal code should be recorded, and reprogrammed when this test step is finished. Enter the permanent code on the door lock touchpad. Press (in sequence) buttons 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 and 1/2 (no more than 6 seconds should elapse between successive presses of the buttons). Is the alternate code accepted? If yes, Electronic Door Lock Control System is okay. If no, replace the electronic door lock control processor. See ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK CONTROL PROCESSOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
