Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE BCM DTCs  FROM THE SELF-TEST
    1. Using a scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.

    Is DTC B126A:01 present? 

  2. VERIFY THE OPERATION OF BOTH DOOR LOCK CONTROL SWITCHES
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Press the lock and unlock buttons of both door lock control switches while observing the door lock operation.

    Do the door locks operate only one way from both switches? 

    • Yes: GO to  5.
    • No: GO to .
  3. CHECK THE LOCK INPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN (SINGLE SWITCH INOPERATIVE)
    1. Disconnect: Suspect Door Lock Control Switch.
    2. Unlock the doors from the working door lock control switch.
    3. For the LH door lock control switch, connect a fused jumper wire:
      Door Lock Control Switch Door Lock Control Switch
      G08040513
      G08040514
      C505 C505
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      1 CPK19 (BU/GN)
      G08040515
      2 GD233 (BK)
    4. For the RH door lock control switch, connect a fused jumper wire:
      Door Lock Control Switch Door Lock Control Switch
      G08040516
      G08040517
      C605 C605
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      4 CPK19 (BU/GN)
      G08040518
      3 GD348 (BK/YE)

    Do the doors lock with the jumper wire? 

    • Yes: REMOVE the jumper wire. GO to .
    • No: REMOVE the jumper wire. REPAIR the circuit for an open.
  4. CHECK THE UNLOCK INPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN (SINGLE SWITCH INOPERATIVE)

    A00517600

    1. For the LH door lock control switch, connect a fused jumper wire:
      Door Lock Control Switch Door Lock Control Switch
      G08040519
      G08040520
      C505 C505
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      3 CPK23 (YE/VT)
      G08040521
      2 GD233 (BK)
    2. For the RH door lock control switch, connect a fused jumper wire:
      Door Lock Control Switch Door Lock Control Switch
      G08040522
      G08040523
      C605 C605
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      2 CPK23 (YE/VT)
      G08040524
      3 GD348 (BK/YE)

    Do the unlock with the jumper wire? 

    • Yes: REMOVE the jumper wire. INSTALL a new door lock control switch. REFER to Door Lock Control Switch .
    • No: Remove the jumper wire. REPAIR the circuit for an open.
  5. CHECK THE LOCK INPUT OR THE UNLOCK INPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN (BOTH SWITCHES INOPERATIVE)
    1. Disconnect LH Door Lock Control Switch C505.
    2. Disconnect BCM C2280C.
    3. If the doors do not lock, measure:
      BCM LH Door Lock Control Switch
      G08040525
      G08040526
      C2280C C505
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      6 CPK19 (BU/GN)
      G08040527
      1 CPK19 (BU/GN)
    4. If the doors do not unlock, measure:
      BCM LH Door Lock Control Switch
      G08040528
      G08040529
      C2280C C505
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      8 CPK23 (YE/VT)
      G08040530
      3 CPK23 (YE/VT)

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    • Yes: GO to .
    • No: REPAIR the affected circuit for an open.
  6. CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
    3. 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
    4. Reconnect all BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    5. 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 BCM. REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITHOUT INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) .
    • 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.
