The BCM cycles the park lamp relay once for visual confirmation of the LOCK function when the power door LOCK command is initiated by the RKE system. The BCM cycles the park lamp relay twice for visual confirmation of the UNLOCK function when the power door UNLOCK command is initiated by the RKE system. This feedback interrupts the current commanded state of the park lamps (2) if operating with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF position; then, cycle the park lamps and restore them to the current commanded state. Thus, the lights will sequence OFF, then go back to normal ON operation if the park lamps are in ON position. The lights will sequence ON, then go back to normal OFF operation if the park lamps are in the OFF position. The RKE park lamp flash sequence of the LOCK command (one cycle) completes when an UNLOCK signal initiates immediately after a LOCK signal. Upon the LOCK park lamp cycle completion, the UNLOCK flash sequence (twice) executes and vice versa.

Lock-Out Prevention Feature

The power door lock switches disable whenever the key is in the ignition and any door is open. Press the power door lock switch for more than 3 seconds to override this feature.

Personalization of the RKE

The automatic door lock feature enables under the following conditions:

The BCM uses the signal from the receiver to either enable or disable the automatic door lock feature. Use one of the following two different ways to program the automatic door lock feature:

Central Door Unlocking Feature

The Body Control Module (BCM) controls the central door unlocking feature through the remote control door lock receiver. Central door unlocking allows the front doors and the rear doors to unlock with the use of the key in the driver side front door. Hold the key on the unlock position for more than 1.5 seconds to unlock the remaining doors.

Anti-Lockout Feature

The Body Control Module (BCM) inhibits the activation of the power door lock feature actuated by the power door lock button when the key is in the ignition cylinder and/or the ignition turns to the RUN position or the START position with any door open. Continuous actuation of the power door lock button for 3 seconds overrides this feature. The BCM continues to prevent door to lock upon wake-up by door lock command from the discrete input if all the conditions are met for anti-lockout. The anti-lockout feature takes precedence over the automatic door lock functions. The doors will not lock if the automatic door lock function is enabled when the anti-lockout feature is active with the gear selector out of the PARK position. The BCM shuts down after the door closes or the BCM shuts down after 10 minutes if the key is left in the ignition switch with the door left open. The outputs controlling the following functions de-energize at power up or during a running reset to prevent inadvertent locking of the vehicle doors:
