Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems: Autolock

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The autolock feature locks all the doors when all the doors, including the liftgate, are closed, after the brake pedal is pressed, and the vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph) or higher. This feature relocks the doors (if any doors were open) after the brake pedal is pressed, once all the doors are read as closed and vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph). Door ajar switches are wired directly to the vehicle security module. The autolock feature can be enabled/disabled through module configuration, the ignition switch, and the RKE keypad. The autolock feature also uses inputs from the key position, the stoplamp switch and vehicle speed through the universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART)-based protocol (UBP) network.
