WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2006 Chevrolet Uplander, and 2006 Buick Terraza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The components of the system are:

- Door ajar switches
- Body control module (BCM)
- Driver door key switch
- Power door lock switches
