The Door Lock Function

When a door lock control switch is moved into the lock position or a door lock cylinder is rotated to the lock position, a ground is provided to the lock circuit input to the generic electronic module (GEM). The GEM then provides 12 volts to one side of the door lock actuators contained in the door latch assembly and simultaneously grounds the other side of the door lock actuators. This completes the door lock actuator circuit, causing the door lock actuators to rotate a cam assembly, which then locks the doors.
