Power Door Locks Malfunction - Holden

The power door lock actuators are controlled through the door lock and unlock relays in the IP fuse block. While the relays are in the de-energised state, the actuator control circuits are grounded through the relays. When lock or unlock function is activated, the appropriate relay is energised and the control circuit is switched to battery voltage. The door lock relays are wired in parallel to the lock and unlock control circuits. Lock and unlock functions are determined by which control circuit is switched to battery voltage while the other remains grounded.

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Rear Doors Lock Cmd and Rear Doors Unlock Cmd while toggling the driver door lock switch between the LOCK and UNLOCK. Each reading should change between On and Off.

⇒	If either parameter does not change, refer to Driver Door Lock Switch Malfunction.
