Pinpoint Test M: The Auto-Unlock Does Not Operate Correctly

Normal Operation

The Body Control Module (BCM) energizes the unlock relay based on input from the door ajar switches and the vehicle speed signal. The BCM (Body Control Module) unlocks the doors when the following conditions are met:

- The vehicle speed has exceeded 20 km/h (12 mph) then dropped to 0 km/h (0 mph)

- The key is turned to the OFF or ACC position

- The LH front door is opened within 10 minutes of the key being turned to the OFF or ACC position

The auto-unlock feature is cancelled if the doors are locked with the door lock control switch or the Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) within the 10-minute active window. After the 10-minute active window expires, the auto-unlock feature does not unlock the doors if the driver door is opened.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Programming

- Door ajar switch input

- Vehicle speed signal message
