Power Door Lock Operation

The vehicle is equipped with power door locks. Each lock actuator is powered and controlled by the door module mounted in the individual door. The Driver Door Module (DDM) is the master control for the door lock system but the Rear Integration Module (RIM) determines when the lock functions are permitted.

The passenger front door interior lock switch is wired to the Passenger Front Door Module (PDM). The driver door interior lock switch is wired to the Driver Door Switch Assembly (DDSA). Interior lock switches are not provided for the rear doors. The DDSA and the PDM send the lock switch requests to the Driver Door Module (DDM) over the power door serial data circuit. The DDM then sends the lock requests to the RIM over the Class 2 serial data circuits.

The door lock operation modes are controlled by the RIM. The RIM examines the requested function from the DDM, or the Remote Function Actuator (RFA), as well as the transmission shift selector position and the ignition switch position information available over the Class 2 serial data circuits. If the RIM determines that a lock or unlock function is permitted, it sends a class 2 message back to the DDM commanding the DDM to perform that function. The DDM then sends commands to the rest of the door modules via the power door serial data circuit to implement the selected locking function.
