Is the concern still present?

Yes

CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test

and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, Click here to access Guided Routine (BCM).

No

The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.

A Single or More Than One Door Lock Is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 117 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operations and Fault Conditions

REFER to: Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems - System Operation and Component Description (501-14 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems, Description and Operation).

Possible Cause

Fuse Wiring, terminals or connectors Door latch BCM

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks

Check the BCM fuse 24 (30A)

PINPOINT TEST I : A SINGLE OR MORE THAN ONE DOOR LOCK IS INOPERATIVE

I1 CHECK THE DOOR LATCH FOR BINDING

Lock and unlock the inoperative door lock using the manual door lock located just above the door latch opening.

Does the door lock and unlock?

Yes

VERIFY the BCM fuse 24 (30A) is OK. If OK, GO to I2 If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams manual to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.

No

INSTALL a new door latch. REFER to: Front Door Latch (501-14 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems, Removal and Installation).

I2 CHECK THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) ALL LOCK OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

NOTICE: The following step uses a test lamp to simulate normal circuit loads. Use only a Rotunda Test Lamp (SGT27000) or 250-300mA incandescent bulb test lamp. To avoid connector terminal damage, use the Rotunda Flex Probe kit for the test lamp probe connection to the vehicle. Do not use the test lamp probe directly on any connector. Ignition OFF. Disconnect suspect door latch. For the suspect door latch, connect:
