System Description

POWER DOOR LOCKS
The CTM controls the door lock actuation assemblies to handle locking and unlocking with the interior door lock switches or the RKE transmitter (key fob). There is also a door lock inhibit feature that prevents the power locking of the doors if the key is in the ignition or the headlamps are ON and the left front door is open. However, the doors can still be locked using the RKE transmitter which allows the engine to run for warm up purposes.

Automatic (Rolling) Door Locks
When the doors are closed and the vehicle speed exceeds 15 MPH due to engine power (not just rolling) and all doors are closed, the CTM will lock the doors. The vehicle is shipped with the automatic door lock feature disabled, but may be enabled using the DRB.

Door Lock Delay
If the CTM receives a signal to lock the doors and one or both of the auxiliary doors (side or rear) are open, the front doors will still lock. Five seconds after both of the auxiliary door are closed, the CTM will recycle the lock function.
