System Description

  1. POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 

    The power door lock system locks/unlocks all the doors simultaneously.

    The master switch (on the driver side door) and the door control switch (on the passenger side door) send lock/ unlock request signals to the body ECU. Then, the body ECU sends these requests to the lock motors in each

    door to lock/unlock all the doors simultaneously. Operating the driver side door lock using a key sends lock/unlock request signals to the door lock control relay. The driver side door key-linked lock function has an optional unlock method called the 2-step unlock function.
