Pinpoint Test A: A Single/More Than One Door Lock Is Inoperative
Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems - Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT)
Pinpoint Test A: A Single/More Than One Door Lock Is Inoperative
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 117, Remote Keyless Entry and Alarm for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) supplies voltage and ground to all the passenger door lock actuators by controlling the lock all and unlock all relays. The Driver Door Module (DDM) supplies voltage and ground only to the driver door lock actuator. The SJB receives inputs from the RH door lock control switch, keyless entry keypad, and the RKE transmitter. The DDM only receives input from the LH door lock control switch. Both modules share the information obtained from the inputs over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). Upon a lock request, the SJB supplies voltage on the passenger door lock circuit and ground on the passenger door unlock circuit, and the DDM supplies voltage on the driver door lock circuit and ground on the driver door unlock circuit. Upon an unlock request, the voltage and ground are reversed on the previously listed circuits. When the door lock and unlock relays are not energized they are connected to ground. A dedicated SJB ground circuit is provided only for the lock and unlock relays.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Door lock actuator (part of the door latch)
- Luggage compartment lid release solenoid (part of the luggage compartment lid latch)
- DDM
- SJB
