Programmable Automatic Door Locks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Safari and 2002 Chevrolet Astro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The automatic door lock feature can be programmed to control the door lock system. The automatic door lock feature is factory programmed to have all doors lock and unlock. For detailed instructions on programming the automatic door locks, refer to VEHICLE PERSONALIZATION in Personalization.

When the automatic door lock feature is programmed to control the door lock system, the BCM will lock the vehicle doors if the following inputs are true:

Ignition 1 input is active.
All door jamb switch inputs are inactive.
Cargo door or lift gate/lift glass ajar inputs are inactive.
Transmission is shifted out of park

This automatic door lock function will only occur once per ignition cycle unless, a door jamb switch input changes state to active and back to inactive. Then the BCM will lock all doors again.

Once the automatic door lock feature has locked the doors, the BCM will then unlock all the doors when the transmission is shifted into park.
