I3 CHECK THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) UNLOCK OUTPUT

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. For the suspect door latch, connect:

NOTE: The BCM only supplies voltage to the actuator momentarily. It is important to monitor the test lamp while pressing the door lock control switch. While pressing the door lock control switch in the unlock position, monitor the test lamp.

Does the test lamp momentarily illuminate?

Yes

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

REPAIR the circuit.

I5 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Disconnect and inspect all the BCM connectors. Repair:

corrosion (install new connectors or terminals - clean module pins) damaged or bent pins - install new terminals pins pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the BCM connectors and make sure they seat and latch correctly. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?
