GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
GS vehicles use lighting on the interior and exte-
rior of the vehicle for illuminating and indicating
purposes. Lighting circuits are protected by fuses.
Lighting circuits require an overload protected power
source, on/off device, lamps and body ground to oper-
ate properly. Plastic lamps require a wire in the har-
ness to supply body ground to the lamp socket.
Replace sockets and bulbs that are corroded.
Some of the interior and exterior lighting functions
are governed by the body controller. The headlamp,
dome, and the door ajar switches provide signals to
the body controller. The body controller in turn acti-
vates relay(s) in order to provide either a ground or
feed line to the appropriate lamp(s).
Wire connectors can make intermittent contact or
become corroded. Before coupling wire connectors,
inspect the terminals inside the connector. Male ter-
minals should not be bent or disengaged from the
insulator. Female terminals should not be sprung
open or disengaged from the insulator. Bent and
sprung terminals can be repaired using needle nose
pliers and pick tool. Corroded terminals appear
chalky or green. Corroded terminals should be
replaced to avoid recurrence of the problem symp-
toms.Begin electrical system failure diagnosis by testing
related fuses in the fuse block and power distribution
center. Verify that bulbs are in good condition and
test continuity of the circuit ground. Refer to Group
8W, Wiring Diagrams, for component location and cir-
cuit information.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result.
Do not use bulbs with higher candle power than
indicated in the Bulb Application table at the end of
this group. Damage to lamp and/or Daytime Run-
ning Lamp Module can result.
Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or relays hav-
ing greater amperage value than indicated on the
fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Roll or fold the passenger airbag towards the
instrument panel surface and close the door over the
folded bag. Then tape the door shut.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual pow-
der from the vehicle interior. Work from the outside
in to avoid kneeling or sitting in a contaminated
area. Vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as well (Fig.
2). If HVAC was in RECIRC mode at time of airbag
deployment, operate HVAC blower on low speed/heat
and vacuum powder residue expelled from the heat
outlets. Multiple vacuum cleaning may to necessary
to decontaminate the interior of the vehicle.
NOTE: Dispose deployed airbag properly, contact
dealer or government agency for disposal recom-
mendations.
SERVICE OF DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE
DRIVER AIRBAG
If a Driver Airbag Module has been deployed, but
not due to a collision, replace the following:
²Driver Airbag Module
²Clockspring assembly
²Driver airbag cover/horn switch
The components above must be replaced because
they cannot be reused. Replace any other driver air-
bag system components if damaged.
PASSENGER AIRBAG
If a Passenger Airbag Module has been deployed,
but not due to a collision, replace the following:
²Passenger Airbag Module
²Upper instrument panel with pad
The component above must be replaced because
they cannot be reused. Inspect the heat duct near the
passenger airbag for any damage replace as neces-sary. Replace any other passenger airbag system
components if damaged.
HANDLING AIRBAG MODULE
DEPLOYED MODULE
The vehicle interior may contain a very small
amount of sodium hydroxide powder, a by-product of
airbag deployment. Sodium hydroxide powder can
irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat. Wear safety
glasses, rubber gloves, and long sleeved clothing
when cleaning any of the powder residue from the
vehicle.
If you find that the cleanup is irritating your skin,
run cool water over the affected area. Also, if you
experience nasal or throat irritation, exit the vehicle
for fresh air until the irritation ceases. If irritation
continues, see a physician.
UNDEPLOYED
The airbag modules must be stored in its original
special container until used for service. At no time
should a source of electricity be permitted near the
inflator on the back of an airbag module. When car-
rying or handling an undeployed airbag module, the
trim side of the airbag should be pointing away from
the body to minimize possibility of injury if acciden-
tal deployment occurs. Do not place undeployed air-
bag face down on a solid surface, the airbag will
propel into the air if accidentally deployment occurs.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The Body Control Module (BCM) locks or unlocks
the doors when an actuation input signal from a door
lock switch or Remote Keyless Entry Module (RKE)
is received. The BCM signals lock and unlock relays
in the Junction Block to actuate the door lock motors.
The front doors, sliding door(s) and liftgate are
equipped with actuator motors to lock or unlock the
latch mechanisms. The front door lock actuator motor
is not serviced separately from the door latch. The
BCM locks the doors and liftgate automatically when
the vehicle is driven beyond the speed of 25.7 Km/h
(16 mph). The automatic door lock feature can be dis-
abled if desired. All doors and liftgate can be locked
or unlocked using mechanical button or key cylinder
methods.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FEATURE
The vehicle comes with two options for power door
locks:
²Rolling automatic lock (ENABLE), doors auto-
matically lock at approximately at 25.7 Km/h (16
mph).
²No rolling automatic lock (DISABLE), doors do
not automatically lock when the vehicle is moving.
The BCM is equipped with a disable feature to
stop the speed sensitive automatic door locks from
functioning. The DISABLE feature can be switched
ON or OFF as desired. When the system is DIS-
ABLED the door locks will operate normally, but will
not lock automatically when the vehicle is rolling.
When the door locks are ENABLED the door locks
will automatically lock when the vehicle is moving at
about 25.7 Km/h (16 mph).
DOOR LOCK CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The BCM controls the door lock relay's operation.
If the door lock switch is actuated continuously for
more than one second the BCM will interrupt the
relay circuit. The door lock system is protected by a
40 amp fuse located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). The LOCK and UNLOCK relays are located
in the Junction Block. The Power Distribution Center
is located along side of the battery. The lock motors
are protected with Positive Temperature Coefficient
(PTC) device that prevents motor burn out.
NSPOWER DOOR LOCKS 8P - 1
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT FEATURE
The BCM cancels out the door lock switch actua-
tion, when the key is in the Ignition Switch and a
door is open. After the key is removed from the Igni-
tion Switch, or the doors are closed, the power door
locks will operate normally.
SLIDING DOOR LOCK MEMORY FEATURE
The door locks on the sliding door(s) can be actu-
ated when the door(s) are closed. If the sliding
door(s) are open when the door locks are actuated,
the BCM will hold the lock command in memory
until the door(s) is closed. When the door is closed
and the door jamb terminals make contact, signaling
the BCM to lock the sliding door(s) automatically.
Actuating the door lock switch to the unlock position
before the sliding door(s) are closed will cancel the
lock request.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK SYSTEM TEST
When using a scan tool (DRB) for testing the auto-
matic door lock system, refer to the Body Diagnostic
Procedures Manual. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams for circuit information and component loca-
tions.
DOOR LOCK MOTOR
Verify battery condition before testing door lock
motor(s), refer to Group 8A, Battery for proper diag-
nosis procedures.
To determine which motor is faulty, check each
individual door for electrical lock and unlock or dis-
connect the motor connectors one at a time, while
operating the door lock switch. In the event that
none of the motors work, the problem may be caused
by a shorted motor, a relay or a bad switch. Discon-
necting the defective motor will allow the others to
work.
To test an individual door lock motor, disconnect
the electrical connector from the motor. To lock the
door, connect a 12 volt power source to the positive
pin of the lock motor and a ground wire to the other
pin (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3) and refer to Group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams for pin locations. To unlock the door
reverse the wire connections at the motor pin termi-
nals. If these results are NOT obtained, replace the
motor.
DOOR LOCK SWITCH TEST
(1) Remove door lock switch bezel assembly from
door. Refer to Group 23, Body for removal proce-
dures.
(2) Disconnect wire connector from back of door
lock switch.(3) Depress switch to LOCK position.
(4) Using an ohmmeter, test switch resistance
between Pins 2 and 3. Refer to Door Lock Switch
Test and (Fig. 4).
(5) Depress switch to UNLOCK position.
(6) Test resistance between Pins 2 and 3.
(7) If resistance values are not within the param-
eters shown replace the door lock switch.
