All Doors (Except Driver) Fail To Lock & Unlock

NOTE: After making any repairs, perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. Unless instructed otherwise in test step, reconnect any disconnected connectors.
  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module connector. Lower passenger window. Connect a jumper wire between RKE module connector terminals No. 4, door lock driver circuit (Orange/Black wire) and No. 8, ground circuit (Black/Light Green wire) or No. 12, ground circuit (Black wire). See Figure. Go to next step.
  2. Manually lock passenger doors. Connect a second jumper wire to RKE module connector terminal No. 6, door unlock driver circuit (Pink/Violet wire). Observe passenger door locks while momentarily touching other end of second jumper wire to RKE module connector terminal No. 3, fused B+ circuit (Red wire). If passenger doors unlock, replace RKE module. See REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If passenger doors do not unlock, disconnect jumper wires, leave RKE module connector disconnected and go to next step.
  3. Connect a jumper wire between RKE module connector terminals No. 6, door unlock driver circuit (Pink/Violet wire) and No. 8, ground circuit (Black/Light Green wire) or No. 12, ground circuit (Black wire). Go to next step.
  4. Manually unlock passenger doors. Connect second jumper wire to RKE module connector terminal No. 4, door lock driver circuit (Orange/Black wire). Observe passenger door locks while momentarily touching other end of second jumper wire to RKE module connector terminal No. 3, fused B+ circuit (Red wire). If passenger doors lock, replace RKE module. See REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If passenger doors do not unlock, disconnect jumper wires, leave RKE module connector disconnected and go to next step.
  5. Ensure ignition is off. Remove passenger inner door trim to gain access to suspect door lock motor. See FRONT DOOR TRIM PANEL  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect door lock motor connector. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance of door unlock driver circuit (Pink/Violet wire) between RKE module connector terminal No. 6 and door lock motor connector terminal No. 3. See Fig 1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, leave RKE module and door lock motor connectors disconnected, and go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open Pink/Violet wire.
  6. Using ohmmeter, check resistance of door lock driver circuit (Orange/Black wire) between RKE module connector terminal No. 4 and door lock motor connector terminal No. 4. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace RKE module. See REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open Orange/Black wire.
