Power Locks: Testing and Inspection

The complexity of the electronics involved with the Body Processor, the Door Modules, the Security and Locking Module, and the two multiplexed communication networks, preclude the use of workshop general electrical test equipment. Therefore, reference should be made to the Portable Diagnostic Unit (PDU) User Guide for detailed instructions on testing the door locks.

The PDU systematically tests and analyses all electrical functions of door locking.

Where a fault is indicated, some basic diagnostic methods may be necessary to confirm that connections are good and that wiring is not damaged, before replacing a component.
