Power Locks
Description
The power lock system allows all of the doors to be locked or unlocked electrically by operating a switch on either front door trim panel. The power lock system receives non switched battery current through a fuse in the totally integrated power module, so that the power locks remain operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The TIPM locks the doors automatically when the vehicle is driven beyond the speed of 25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors are closed, the accelerator pedal is depressed and the door lock actuation had not been previously activated. The rolling door lock feature is customer programmable.
This vehicle also offers several customer programmable features, which allows the selection of several optional electronic features to suit individual preferences.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be operated remotely using the available remote keyless entry system radio frequency transmitters, if equipped.
Operation
The TIPM locks or unlocks the doors when an actuation input signal from a door lock switch, central lock key cylinder or RKE is received. The TIPM turns on the output drivers and provides a voltage level to the door lock motor for a specified time.
