Power Locks: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM

The central door locking system operates the door lock actuator to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK] using the operation of the door lock switch built into the front power window (main or sub) switch. The system has the following operations and features:

- All doors and liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK] can be locked using the door lock switch built into the front power window (main or sub) switch.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING

- All the doors (including the liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK]) can be locked/unlocked, using the driver's side or the passenger's side door lock switch.
- The function that allows the driver's door to be opened by pulling the driver's door inside handle even when the driver's door inside lock knob is in the lock position is called "override function".
-




When the door is locked by the driver's or passenger's door lock switch, the ETACS-ECU operates its door lock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors for 0.25 second to lock all the doors (including the liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK]).
When the door is unlocked by the driver's or passenger's door lock switch, the ETACS-ECU operates its door unlock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors (including the liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK]).
When the door is locked and unlocked by driver's or passenger's door lock switch consecutively, the ETACS-ECU operates its door lock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors for 0.25 second to lock all the doors (including the liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK]). Then, the ETACS-ECU operates its door unlock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors (including the liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK]) for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors (including the liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK]). Due to this, there may be a time lag between the driver's or passenger's door lock switch actuation and the time when all the doors (including the liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK]) are unlocked.

SELECTOR "P" POSITION-LINKED DOOR UNLOCKING FUNCTION[ CVT, TC-SST]

- When the selector lever is shifted to the "P" (parking) position with the ignition switch turned ON, all the doors (including the liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK]) will be unlocked automatically, improving passengers' convenience for getting out. Using a customization feature, the selector "P" position-linked door unlocking function can be switched (Refer to Programming and Relearning ).
-




When the selector lever is shifted to the P position with the ignition switch turned ON, the transaxle range switch "P" turns ON, ETACS-ECU turns the unlock relay output ON for 0.25 seconds to unlock all the doors (including the liftgate [LANCER SPORTBACK]).

IGNITION SWITCH "LOCK (OFF)" POSITION-LINKED DOOR UNLOCKING FUNCTION[ M/T, CVT, TC-SST]

- When the ignition switch is turned to the " LOCK (OFF)" position, all the doors will be unlocked automatically, improving passengers' convenience for getting out. Using a customize function, the ignition switch " LOCK (OFF)" position-linked door unlocking function can be changed (Refer to Programming and Relearning ).
-




When the ignition switch is turned to the " LOCK (OFF)" position, ETACS-ECU turns the unlock relay output ON for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors.
