Power Door Locks

POWER DOOR LOCKS
The power door locks are operated three different ways:
1. Front door switches
2. Auto (rolling) door lock feature
3. Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
When the lock button on the transmitter is pressed, all doors will lock, illuminated entry will be turned off, (providing all doors are closed) and the vehicle theft security system (if equipped) will be armed. When the unlock button is pressed one time, the left front door will unlock, the illuminated entry will turn on the interior courtesy lamps, the vehicle theft security system (if equipped) will be disarmed. When the button is pressed a second time the other four doors will unlock.

The passenger door module (PDM) contains the RKE receiver. When the PDM receives a valid signal from the RKE transmitter, it will send a signal on the CCD bus to lock or unlock the doors. The RKE transmitter uses radio frequency signals to communicate with the RKE receiver.
