Diagnosis And Testing - Power Locks
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Jeep Wrangler and 2015 Jeep Wrangler. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the power lock system requires the use of a scan tool and the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures article . The scan tool can provide confirmation that the Control Area Network (CAN) is functional, that all of the electronic modules are sending and receiving the proper messages on the CAN data bus, and that the power lock motors are being sent the proper hard wired outputs by the relays for them to perform their power lock system functions.
