Pinpoint Test
- CHECK THE DOOR LATCH FOR BINDING
- Lock and unlock the inoperative door lock using the door lock rod.
Does the door lock and unlock?
- Yes: GO to 3.
- No: GO to 2 .
- CHECK THE LOCK ROD FOR BINDING
- Operate the door lock rod manually while observing the door lock rod for any binding or if the rod is bent.
Is the door lock rod bent or binding?
- Yes: REPAIR as necessary.
- No: INSTALL a new door latch. REFER to Front Door Latch or REFER to Rear Door Latch .
- CHECK THE ALL LOCK OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGENOTE: The following step uses a test light to simulate normal circuit loads. Use only the test lamp recommended in the Special Tools table at the beginning of this section or electrical equivalent. To avoid connector terminal damage, use the Rotunda Flex Probe kit for the test light probe connection to the vehicle. Do not use the test lamp probe directly on any connector. See Special Tool(s) .
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Inoperative Door Lock Actuator.
-
NOTE: The RFA module only supplies voltage to the actuator momentarily. It is important to monitor the test light while pressing LOCK on a door lock control switch.
While pressing the door lock control switch in the LOCK position, monitor:
Inoperative Door Lock Actuator Ground Inoperative Door Lock Actuator Ground Connector-Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit C525-4 CPL11 (GY/BN) Test Light - Ground C609-4 CPL11 (GY/BN) Test Light - Ground C705-4 CPL11 (GY/BN) Test Light - Ground C805-4 CPL11 (GY/BN) Test Light - Ground
Does the test light momentarily illuminate?
- Yes: GO to 4 .
- No: REPAIR the circuit for an open.
- CHECK THE UNLOCK OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGENOTE: The following step uses a test light to simulate normal circuit loads. Use only the test lamp recommended in the Special Tools table at the beginning of this section or electrical equivalent. To avoid connector terminal damage, use the Rotunda Flex Probe kit for the test light probe connection to the vehicle. Do not use the test lamp probe directly on any connector. See Special Tool(s) .
-
NOTE: The RFA module only supplies voltage to the actuator momentarily. It is important to monitor the test light while pressing UNLOCK on a door lock control switch.
While pressing the door lock control switch in the UNLOCK position, monitor:

Does the test light momentarily illuminate?
- Yes: INSTALL a new door latch. REFER to Front Door Latch or REFER to Rear Door Latch .
- No: GO to 5 .
-
- CHECK THE UNLOCK OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: RFA Module C2153D.
- Measure:

Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
- Yes: GO to 6 .
- No: REPAIR the affected circuit.
- CHECK FOR CORRECT RFA MODULE OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect all RFA module connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the RFA module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes: CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new RFA module. REFER to REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR (RFA) MODULE .
- No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
