Delay Locking Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 GMC Savana 3500, 2019 GMC Savana 2500, 2019 Chevrolet Express 3500, and 2019 Chevrolet Express 2500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This feature allows the operator to lock all the doors from a door lock switch with the side door(s) open. The side cargo doors have contact plates that complete the power door lock and unlock control circuits, among others, when the side cargo doors are closed, and interrupt these circuits when the doors are open. When a lock function occurs and the BCM senses an active state on any door ajar switch signal circuit the driver, front passenger and cargo doors will lock as described. The BCM continues to monitor door ajar switch signal circuits. When the BCM senses an inactive state, door closed, the BCM will cycle the door lock relay again after approximately 5 seconds to perform another lock function, thus locking the side cargo door(s).
