DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

All doors can be locked or unlocked electrically by
operating the switch on either front door panels.
The rear doors can be locked or unlocked by actu­ation of the front door switch, or can be locked or unlocked mechanically and independently with their respective locking knobs.
The front doors can be locked or unlocked mechan­ically with the locking knob regardless of electrical locking and unlocking actuation with the front door knobs.
The right and left front door can be locked or unlocked mechanically from the outside with the key or electrically as described above.

CHILD PROTECTION LOCK

The child protection lock is on the rear door only. The lock will disable the inside door handle from opening the door when engaged. The lock is part of the latch/lock assembly. The lock is engaged by mov­ing a lever that is located on the rearward inside edge of the door.
NOTE: This group covers both Left-Hand Drive (LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this model. Whenever required and feasible, the RHD versions of affected vehicle components have been constructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions. While most of the illustrations used in this group

represent only the LHD version, the diagnostic and service procedures outlined can generally be applied to either version. Exceptions to this rule have been clearly identified as LHD, RHD, or Export if a special illustration or procedure is required.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DOOR LOCK MOTOR

Make certain battery is in normal condition before
circuits are tested.
To determine which motor is faulty, check each individual door for electrical lock and unlock or dis­connect the motor connectors one at a time, while operating the door lock switch. In the event that none of the motors work, the problem maybe caused by a shorted motor, or a bad switch. Disconnecting the defective motor will allow the others to work.
To test an individual door lock motor, disconnect the electrical connector from the motor. To lock the door, connect a 12 volt power source to the positive pin of the lock motor and a ground wire to the other pin (Fig. 1) To unlock the door reverse the wire con­nections at the motor pin terminals. If these results are NOT obtained, replace the door latch assembly.

DOOR LOCK SWITCH

Remove the switch from its mounting location. Using an ohmmeter, refer to (Fig. 2) to determine if

GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

The key fob transmitter has three buttons to actu­ate and program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system (Fig. 1).
• UNLOCK: Actuating the UNLOCK button once will unlock the driver door and activate the illumi­nated entry system. Actuating the UNLOCK button twice within five seconds will unlock all doors.
• LOCK: Actuating the LOCK button locks all doors and sounds horn (chirp). The chirp verifies the door lock operation.
• PANIC: Actuating the PANIC button sounds the horns and alternately flashes the headlamps and parking lamps. The panic alarm will remain on for one minute, until the PANIC button is actuated again or the ignition is switched to the RUN position.
• The Remote Keyless Entry Module is capable of retaining the transmitter Vehicle Access Code (VAC) in memory even after vehicle power has been inter­rupted.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

VEHICLE ACCESS CODE (VAC) PROGRAMMING

The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle door(s) by remote control using a hand held radio fre­quency transmitter. The ignition switch must be OFF before the panic function can be activated with the transmitter.
The receiver may receive VAC signals from two transmitters. Each transmitter has its own Vehicle Access Code and the code is programmed and stored into receiver memory. If the transmitter is replaced or a second transmitter is added, the codes of both units have to be reprogrammed into the receiver

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
When trouble shooting problems with the Remote Keyless Entry System, always verify that the power door lock/unlock switches are functional. If the doors do not lock/unlock refer to Group 8W, Wiring Dia­gram for Pin and wiring locations.
If the following items do not work:
• Remote keyless entry system
• Radio/clock
• Door lock switches
A blown fuse is the probable cause. Check fuses 2, 3 and 11 in the fuse block. To check for a blown fuse, pull the fuse out slightly, but maintain contact between the fuse terminals and the terminals in fuse block. Using the voltmeter probe, check both termi­nals for 12 volts. If only one terminal measures bat­tery voltage, the circuit breaker is defective and must be replaced. If neither terminal measures battery voltage, check the high current fuses 3 and 11 in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The PDC is located in the engine compartment. If fuse(s) are NOT OK, replace fuse(s) or repair as necessary. If fuses are OK, check for an open or shorted circuit to the Power Distribution Center, repair as needed.
