Does anyone have a wiring diagram for factory door locks? My rear doors arent working at all and my rear hatch will only lock.

did you install any kind of remote starter/alarm or are you just experiencing problems with the factory door locks?

you check all your fuses? Dumb question, but might aswell check all the basics before you get into your doorlock system.

follow those solinoid wire as far as you can testing periodically. I dont have a diagram or anything, but maybe fusible link or something somwhere. Prolly go from the door to the boot to the inner b-pillar panel to the floor panel.

i honestly dont know. For instance, when installing a remote starter, they aren't a single wire in that specific year Tahoe, you must use a module to interface with the multiplex door locks. Maybe somebody with AllData could help out on the topic?

Check the ECC fuse and the Lock fuse in the fuse panel in the end of the driver's side dash. They both have to do with the rear door locks and th rear hatch.

POWER DOOR LOCKS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DOOR LOCK SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The power door lock system consists of the following components:

  • The driver door module (DDM)
  • The passenger door module (PDM)
  • The body control module (BCM)
  • The driver information center (DIC)
  • The rear door lock switch
  • The door lock relay
  • The door unlock relay
  • The liftgate lock relay-utility vehicles with liftgate only
  • The reversible door lock actuators in each of the doors and liftgate
  • LOCKS 20A fuse (rear lock/unlock relay supply voltage)
  • ECC 10A fuse (liftgate lock relay supply voltage)

DOOR LOCK SYSTEM CONTROLS

The power door lock system can be controlled by any of the following:

  • A power door lock or unlock switch activation
  • A keyless entry transmission
  • An automatic door lock function
  • A delay lock function
  • Door lock cylinder switch activation
  • Lockout Prevention
  • An airbag deployment

DRIVER, PASSENGER AND CARGO DOOR LOCK SYSTEM OPERATION

The front power door lock switches are integral components of the driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM). The switches are two position normally open rocker switches. When placed in either the lock or unlock positions, the switches provide a direct input to the DDM or PDM. The DDM or PDM monitors these inputs and sends a Class 2 message indicating a change in the switch's respective position. Modules which activate the power door lock motors receive the Class 2 message and activate the motor in the appropriate direction to lock or unlock the vehicle's doors and liftgate. The rear door lock switch provides a lock and unlock signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM upon receipt of a lock or unlock signal will control the rear door lock relays and also send a Class 2 message to the DDM and PDM to perform the appropriate function.
The modules which activate the power lock motors are:

  • The DDM (driver door lock actuator).
  • The PDM (passenger front door lock actuator).
  • The BCM (both rear door lock actuators and cargo door/liftgate).

The DDM and PDM are directly connected to the respective door lock actuator through the door lock motor lock and unlock circuits. Once a door lock or unlock request has been received, the module will supply battery voltage to one side of the actuator and ground the other causing the doors to lock or unlock.

The rear passenger and cargo doors differ slightly in that they use lock and unlock relays. The relays supply and coil sides receive a constant voltage through the battery voltage supply circuit. The normally closed contacts are connected to ground and the control side is connected to the BCM. Once a door lock or unlock request has been received by the BCM, the BCM will ground the control side of the appropriate relay. This energizes the relay and allows voltage to be applied to either the door lock motor lock or unlock circuits. since the other side of the door lock actuator is connected to the normally closed contacts of the opposing relay to ground, the doors lock or unlock.
LIFTGATE LOCKING OPERATION
The liftgate will lock any time the vehicle is shifted out of park on vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission and at vehicle speeds exceeding 5 kph with manual transmission. This happens in conjunction with auto door locks if enabled or independently of auto door locks if the feature is disabled. This ensures that the liftgate is locked anytime the vehicle is shifted out of park or when the vehicle is in motion.
The liftgate lock relay supply and coil sides receive a constant voltage through the battery voltage supply circuit and the ECC fuse. The normally closed contact is connected to ground and the control side is connected to the body control module (BCM). A lock function will occur when a door lock switch activation, keyless entry lock transmission, auto door lock function or a liftgate lock function has been received by the BCM. The BCM will then ground the control side of the liftgate lock relay. This energizes the relay and allows voltage to be applied to the liftgate lock actuator lock control circuit. Since the other side of the liftgate lock actuator is connected to the normally closed contacts of the door unlock relay to ground, the liftgate will lock. When an unlock function occurs the BCM will ground the control side of the unlock relay and the rear doors and liftgate will unlock.
The BCM also runs diagnostics on the liftgate lock relay control circuit and will set DTC B3825 as current and also send a Class 2 message to the DIC. The DIC will display REPLACE LIFTGATE FUSE to inform the driver that a fault has been detected in the liftgate lock circuit and that the liftgate is not locked. Faults that will set the DTC and cause the DIC to display the message could be any of the following:

  • An open ECC fuse
  • An open or short to ground in the liftgate lock relay battery positive voltage circuit
  • A faulty liftgate lock relay
  • An open or short to ground in the liftgate lock relay control circuit
  • A short to ground in the liftgate lock actuator lock control circuit
  • A faulty BCM

PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS

The automatic door lock feature can be programmed to control the door lock system. The automatic door lock feature is factory programmed to have all doors lock and unlock. For detailed instructions on programming the automatic door locks, refer to Vehicle Personalization in Personalization.
When the automatic door lock feature is programmed to control the door lock system, the driver door module (DDM), passenger door module (PDM) and body control module (BCM) will lock the vehicle doors if the following inputs are true:

  • Ignition 1 input is active.
  • All door jamb switch inputs are inactive.
  • Cargo door or liftgate/liftglass ajar inputs are inactive.
  • Transmission is shifted out of park.

This automatic door lock function will only occur once per ignition cycle unless, a door jamb switch input changes state to active and back to inactive. Then the DDM, PDM and BCM will lock all doors again.

Once the automatic door lock feature has locked the doors, the BCM will then unlock all the doors when the transmission is shifted into park.
LOCKOUT PREVENTION
This feature prevents the locking of the driver door if the ignition key is left in the ignition lock cylinder. If a lock function occurs from any door lock switch and the body control module (BCM) senses an active state on either the left front door latch signal, secondary door latch switch signal and/or the liftgate ajar switch signal circuits and the key in ignition switch signal circuit is in the YES state, the BCM, driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) will lock the doors and then the DDM will unlock the driver door.
DELAYED LOCKING OPERATION
With any door open and a door lock switch is activated in the lock position, the driver door module (DDM), passenger door module (PDM) and the body control module (BCM) will go into a lock pending state. The BCM will also give three audible chimes. When the door is closed, the DDM, PDM and the BCM will lock the doors after approximately five seconds. This feature can be overridden by activating the door lock switch a second time and the doors will lock even with a door open.
UNLOCK AFTER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT
This feature will unlock all of the vehicle doors 15 seconds after an air bag deployment.
