Circuit/System Description

The driver and front passenger power door lock switches are integral components of the driver door module (DDM) and front passenger door module (FPDM). The switches consist of 2 positions, lock and unlock, and are in the normally open state. When placed in either the lock or unlock positions, the switches provide a direct input to their respective door control module. When a power door lock switch is operated in the lock or unlock position, the associated door control module responds by sending a serial data message indicating a change in the switch position. This serial data message is received by the opposite door control module as well as the body control module (BCM). The DDM and FPDM respond to the lock/unlock request by activating their respective power door lock motors to lock or unlock the front doors. The BCM is responsible for controlling the left and right rear passenger door lock motors. The BCM, upon receipt of a lock or unlock serial data signal, will control either the rear door lock or unlock relay. When the appropriate door lock relay is energized, the rear power door lock motors will lock or unlock the rear doors.

This vehicle may also be configured as a limousine or a hearse by various upfitters and as such may be equipped with middle doors or a rear door.
