Power Door Lock System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2002 Dodge Caravan, 2002 Chrysler Voyager, and 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Body Control Module (BCM) locks or unlocks the doors when an actuation input signal from a door lock switch or Remote Keyless Entry Module (RKE) is received. The BCM turns on the output drivers and provides a voltage level to the door lock motor for a specified time. The BCM locks the doors automatically when the vehicle is driven beyond the speed of 16 MPH (25.7 KM/H). The rolling door lock feature can be disabled if desired. All doors and liftgate can be locked or unlocked using mechanical button or key cylinder methods (liftgate cylinder does not lock/unlock vehicle. It only unlocks the liftgate).
