GENERAL INFORMATION
AA-BODY
The Illuminated Entry System (on AA Body) actu-
ates the interior courtesy and/or dome lamps (except
for the illuminated ignition switch) by lifting either
front door exterior handle. Lamp illumination is terminated 35 seconds ( 68
seconds later when battery voltage is normal), or by
turning the ignition switch to the run position,
whichever occurs first. When testing the system, all
vehicle doors must be closed to prevent the door jam
switches from activating the courtesy/dome lamps. Front door handle switches (Fig. 1), and the Illumi-
nated Entry Module (located behind and above the
glove box (Fig. 2) are used to control the system.
Depending on vehicle options, as many as six dif-
ferent electrical components/relays are located above
the glove box. The Illuminated Entry Module will be
the one mounted the closest to the outside of the in-
strument panel. The Module bracket is also used to
commonly mount the Power Door Lock Inhibitor Re-
lay, if equipped. Service procedures for door related components can
be found in Group 23, Body.
AC, AG, AJ OR AY BODY
The Illuminated Entry System (AC, AG, AJ or AY
Body) actuates the interior courtesy and/or dome lamps (except illuminated ignition switch) by lifting
either front door exterior handle. Activation can also
be accomplished with the remote keyless entry sys-
tems hand held module, if equipped. Lamp illumination is terminated 30 seconds ( 62
seconds) later, or by turning the ignition switch to
the run position, whichever occurs first. When test-
ing this system, all vehicle doors must be closed to
prevent the operation of the courtesy/dome lamps. Front door handle switches (Fig. 1), and the Body
Controller (Fig . 3 ) are used to control the system.
Service procedures for door related components can
be found in Group 23, Body.

GENERAL INFORMATION
All doors can be locked or unlocked electrically by
operating the switch on a front door panel or arm
rest. The rear doors can be locked or unlocked by actu-
ation of the front door switch, or can be locked or un-
locked mechanically and independently with their
respective locking knobs. The front doors can be locked or unlocked mechan-
ically with the locking knob regardless of electrical
locking and unlocking actuation with the front door
knobs. The right and left front door on all car lines can be
locked or unlocked mechanically from the outside
with the key or electrically as described above. The
left front can also be unlocked by actuation of the in-
side remote door handle. The right front door on AC,
AG, AJ and AY can be unlocked by actuation of the
inside remote door handle. The deck lid lock consists of a latch with internal
solenoid and push button switch. The solenoid is en-
ergized only when the push button is depressed.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
The power door lock inhibit system prevents the
doors from being locked using the power door locks
when either of two conditions occur: (1) The key is in the ignition switch and any of the
doors are open. The ignition switch does not have to
be ON. (2) The key is in the ignition switch and the head-
lamp are on.
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle
door(s) and Trunk lid by remote control using a hand
held radio transmitter. The ignition switch must be
OFF before the trunk lid can be unlocked with the
transmitter. The receiver may receive signals from two trans-
mitters. Each transmitter has its own code, and the
code has been stored in memory. If the transmitter is
replaced or a second transmitter is add, the code on
both units have to be placed in memory.
CIRCUIT BREAKER TEST
Find correct circuit breaker on fuse block. Pull out
slightly but be sure that circuit breaker terminals
still contact terminals in fuse block. Connect ground
wire of voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of
voltmeter positive wire, check both terminals of cir-
cuit breaker for 12 volts. If only one terminal checks
at 12 volts, circuit breaker is defective and must be
replaced. If neither terminal shows 12 volts, check
for open or shorted circuit to circuit breaker.
WIRING VOLTAGE TEST
The following wiring test sequence determines
whether or not voltage is continuous through the
body harness to switch. (1) Remove left side switch from trim panel.
(2) Carefully separate multiple terminal block on
wiring harness from switch body. (3) Connect one lead of test light to a ground ter-
minal:
² Black Wire AA and AC Bodies
² Gray wire AG and AJ Bodies
² Touch other test light lead to Red Wire terminal.
² If test light comes on, the wiring circuit between
the battery and switch is functional.
² If test light does not come on, check 30 amp circuit
breaker or for a open circuit.
SWITCH TEST
Remove the switch from its mounting location. Us-
ing an ohmmeter, refer to (Fig. 1) to determine if
continuity is correct in the Lock and Unlock switch
positions. If these results are not obtained, replace
the switch.
Ä POWER LOCKS 8P - 1
ELECTRIC MOTOR TEST
Make certain battery is in normal charged condi-
tion before circuits are tested. To determine which motor is faulty, check each in-
dividual door for electrical lock and unlock or discon-
nect the motor connectors one at a time, while
operating the door lock switch. In the event that
none of the motors work, the problem maybe caused
by a shorted motor, or a bad switch. Disconnecting
the defective motor will allow the others to work. The power lock motors are also equipped with a
thermal protection system which prevents the motors
from burning out. The motors may chatter if they are
continuously activated. To test an individual door lock motor, disconnect
the wire connector at the motor (Fig. 2 and 3). Test
at the connector for 12 volts while applying door lock
switch. If no voltage repair wire. Apply 12 volts to
the motor terminal, and a known good ground to the
other terminal to check motor operation. Should the motor defect be a result of a broken
wire, it should have no effect on the operation of the
other motors.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
When AC, AG, AJ or AY Body vehicles are
equipped with power door locks, the system includes
an automatic door locking feature which is actuated
through the vehicle's body controller. When this system is enabled the automatic door
locks will work automatically. When the system is
disabled the door locks will work by use of the door
lock switches only. The body controller controls the power locks when
the door lock switch is activated. If the door lock switch is pressed for longer than eight consecutive
seconds, the body controller will de-energize the door
lock relay. Also, the body controller will automati-
cally lock all doors when all of the conditions below
are met:
² All doors are closed
² The vehicle speed exceeds 15 61 MPH
² The throttle position sensor tip-in is greater than
10 62 degrees
The DRB II must be used to enable/disable the au-
tomatic door lock system. Refer to the Body Diagnos-
tic Procedures Manual for the procedure. The body controller will automatically re-lock all
doors if the above conditions are met and if any of
the doors become ajar. The body controller does not
control the door unlock function. The switch is wired
directly to the lock relay.

DOOR LOCK SYSTEM TEST
For complete testing of the AC, AG, AJ and AY
body automatic door lock systems, refer to the Body
Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
DOOR LOCK MOTOR REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove inside door release handle, window
regulator handle, if equipped and door trim panel. (2) Roll door watershield away from lower rear cor-
ner of door to reveal inside panel access opening. (3) Disconnect link at the motor as required (Fig. 4
through 7).
(4) Disconnect motor lead wires.
(5) Remove motor or latch attaching screws and re-
move motor assembly. (6) For installation reverse above procedures.
DECK LID OPERATION
For vehicles equipped with electric deck lid release.
TEST
(1) Confirm solenoid lead wire is connected and 10
volts or more are available at solenoid. (2) Provide proper ground through latch mounting
screws. (3) Remove latch and examine plunger. Plunger
should spring back when pressed. (4) Insure that solenoid plunger travel is adequate
approximately 16 mm (5/8 inch).
ADJUSTMENT
Adjust deck lid latch and striker so that deck lid
latches with a moderate slam. With ignition switch
in On or Accessory position, push deck lid unlock switch. Should latch fail to lock or unlock replace
latch assembly.
DECK LID PULL-DOWN SYSTEMÐAC and AY
BODIES
C-body vehicles have, as an option, a deck lid
power pull-down mechanism which latches and pulls
the deck lid down the last 25 mm (1 in.) of travel.
The system incorporates a combination latch/deck lid

Fig. 6 Front Power Door Lock MotorsÐAC and AY Bodies
Ä POWER LOCKS 8P - 3
release mechanism and a power pull-down motor as-
sembly (Fig. 8 through 10). When the deck lid is closed, very light pressure is
required to cause the latch to grab the pull down bar.
The pull down motor will automatically take the
deck lid to its completely closed position.
POWER PULL DOWN
(1) Latch testing: (a) With the deck lid open and the latch switch
released. There should be continuity between the
black with the red tracer (BK/RD*) and the black
(BK) wire (Fig. 10). (b) With the latch switch depressed (as if the
deck lid was closed), there should be continuity be-
tween the black (BK) and the black with white
tracer (BK/WT*) wire terminals. (c) If these results are not obtained, replace the
pull down latch.
(2) Pull down motor testing: (a) With the pull down motor connector wiring
removed, connect a 12 volt positive source to the
red (RD) wire terminal of the motor and ground
the tan (TN) wire terminal. This will cause the
pull down bar to retract. (b) With the positive source still connected to the
red (RD) wire terminal, ground the grey (GY) wire
terminal. This will cause the pull down bar to raise
