The Body Control Module (BCM) sends voltage signals to the door lock control switches through the lock and unlock input circuits. When the lock or unlock switch is pressed, the corresponding voltage signal is routed to ground, signaling the BCM to lock or unlock the doors. The door lock control switches have a dedicated ground circuit.
- DTC B126A: 01 (Drivers Door Interior Lock Switch: General Electrical Failure) - sets when the BCM detects a short to ground from the lock or unlock request input circuits.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Door lock control switch
