Circuit/System Description

Vehicles equipped with the UTT option contain a reversible dead lock motor contained within each door latch assembly. Each dead lock motor is controlled by 2 circuits; the dead lock control circuit and the dead lock unlock control circuit. To dead lock a door, the body control module (BCM) locks the door by momentarily energizing the door lock relay. To complete the dead locking, the BCM momentarily applies voltage to the dead lock control circuit and ground to the door lock relay control circuit and the door latches will then dead lock.

To restore the interior door handle functions, the BCM uses the same circuit as the normal door unlocking system and the dead locks will unlatch with the rest of the door locks.
