The VSM controls the power door lock system. The module monitors the door lock/unlock switch inputs from the interior door lock switches. When the module receives an unlock/lock command from any door lock control switch, the module activates the door lock actuators. For additional information, refer to HANDLES, LOCKS, LATCHES AND ENTRY SYSTEMS article.
The module also controls the following remote lock/unlock features:
- Keyless entry keypad
- Panic alarm
- Remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter lock/unlock
