1. Power Door Locks Inoperative - Passenger Door

Circuit/System Description

When the passenger door lock switch is place in to the UNLOCK position, ground is applied through the switch to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies ground through the passenger door unlock relay control circuit to the coil side of the passenger unlock relay in the body electrical center (BEC). The relay then engages and applies voltage to all of the passenger door lock assemblies.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM receives a voltage signal on the passenger door unlock relay control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM cease attempt to unlock the doors.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The BCM clears this code from current when the fault is removed from the system.
