- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Right Door Lock Control Switch C605 .
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the BCM DTCs.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the BCM self-test.
Is DTC B126A:01 still present?
Yes GO to AF4. No INSTALL a new right door lock control switch. - AF4 CHECK THE LOCK INPUT CIRCUIT AND THE UNLOCK INPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: BCM C2280C .
Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to AF9. No REPAIR the circuit in question. - AF5 VERIFY THE OPERATION OF BOTH DOOR LOCK CONTROL SWITCHES
- Ignition OFF.
- Press the lock and unlock buttons of both door lock control switches while observing the door lock operation.
Do the door locks operate only one way from both switches?
Yes GO to AF8. No GO to AF6. - AF6 CHECK THE LOCK INPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN (SINGLE SWITCH INOPERATIVE)
- Disconnect: Suspect Door Lock Control Switch.
- Unlock the doors from the working door lock control switch.
- Remove the fused jumper wire.

Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C2280C-8 C605-3
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes GO to AF9. No REPAIR the circuit. - AF9 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all the BCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector 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. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK On-Line Automotive Service Information System(OASIS) for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, Refer to BCM Hardware Testing . 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.
