Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) supplies and monitors a reference voltage to the door lock switch through the door lock switch lock/unlock signal circuit. The door lock switch also receives a constant ground source. If a door lock switch is placed in the lock position or unlock position, the reference voltage is taken directly to ground and the BCM detects the drop in voltage on the signal circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3140 00 or B3150 00
The BCM detects a short to ground in the driver door lock switch lock or unlock signal circuits.
B3145 00 or B3155 00
The BCM detects a short to ground in the passenger door lock switch or cargo door lock switch lock or unlock signal circuits.
B3150 59
The BCM detects a lock command from the in the passenger door lock switch or cargo door lock switch lock for greater than 2 minutes.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM will ignore the command from affected door lock switch and the door lock switch will be inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.
* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool BCM Driver Door Lock Sw. and the Driver Door Unlock Sw. parameters when pushing the appropriate switch on the driver door lock switch. The value should be Inactive and change to Active as each switch is pressed.
• If the values do not change, refer to Driver Door Lock Switch Malfunction.
2. Observe the scan tool BCM Psgr. Door Lock Sw. and the Psgr. Door Unlock Sw. parameters when pushing the appropriate switch on the passenger door lock switch. The value should be Inactive and change to Active as each switch is pressed.
• If the BCM Psgr. Door Lock Sw and Psgr. Door Unlock Sw values are always Inactive, refer to Passenger Door Lock Switch Malfunction.
• If the BCM Psgr. Door Lock Sw value is always Inactive, refer to Passenger Door Lock Switch Malfunction.
• If the BCM Psgr. Door Unlock Sw value is always Inactive, refer to Passenger Door Lock Switch Malfunction.
• If the BCM Psgr. Door Lock Sw or Psgr. Door Unlock Sw values are always Active, refer to Lock and Unlock Circuit Test.
3. Observe the scan tool BCM Psgr. Door Lock Sw. and the Psgr. Door Unlock Sw. parameters when pushing the appropriate switch on the cargo door lock switch. The value should be Inactive and change to Active as each switch is pressed.
• If the BCM Psgr. Door Lock Sw and Psgr. Door Unlock Sw values are always Inactive, refer to Cargo Door Lock Switch Malfunction.
• If the BCM Psgr. Door Lock Sw value is always Inactive, refer to Cargo Door Lock Switch Malfunction.
• If the BCM Psgr. Door Unlock Sw value is always Inactive, refer to Cargo Door Lock Switch Malfunction.
• If the BCM Psgr. Door Lock Sw or Psgr. Door Unlock Sw values are always Active, refer to Lock and Unlock Circuit Test.
Circuit/System Testing
Driver Door Lock Switch Malfunction
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver door lock switch.
2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Driver Door Lock Sw parameter is Inactive.
• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal G for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
3. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal G and ground. Verify the scan tool Driver Door Lock Sw parameter is Active.
• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
4. Verify the scan tool Driver Door Unlock Sw parameter is Inactive.
• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal F for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal F and ground. Verify the scan tool Driver Door Unlock Sw parameter is Active
• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the driver door lock switch.
Passenger Door Lock Switch Malfunction
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the passenger door lock switch.
2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Test for greater than 10 V between the signal circuit terminal listed below and ground:
* Signal circuit terminal F
* Signal circuit terminal G
• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the passenger door lock switch.
Cargo Door Lock Switch Malfunction
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the cargo door lock switch.
2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal E and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
