Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Sky. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Door Locks Inoperative - One

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the inoperative door lock actuator harness connector.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the inoperative door lock actuator lock and unlock control circuits at the inoperative door lock actuator harness connector.
  3. Ignition ON, install a scan tool and perform the door lock and unlock test located in the BCM special functions menu. The test lamp should illuminate as the lock and unlock test is performed.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the door lock actuator lock and unlock control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
  4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the door lock actuator.

Door Locks Inoperative - All

  1. Ignition ON, install a scan tool and perform the door lock and unlock test located in the BCM special functions menu. Both doors should lock and unlock as the test is performed.
    • If both doors do not lock and unlock, replace the BCM.
