Power Door Locks (with one-touch open and close front windows)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BCM controls the door locks using a series of integrated relays (central lock relay/central unlock relay/driver/fuel flap unlock relay). When the relays are not energized, ground is provided on both circuits to the lock motors within the latches. When an unlock relay energizes, voltage is provided to one side of the lock motor to unlock the door(s). When the lock relay energizes, the polarity is reversed and the motors lock the doors.

The DDM and PDM send voltage signals to the door lock control switches. When a door lock control switch is pressed, the voltage signal is routed to ground, indicating a request to lock/unlock the doors. When the DDM or PDM detects a lock or unlock request, a message is sent over the CAN to the BCM to lock or unlock the doors.

Based on input from the door lock control switches, the keyless entry keypad (if equipped), the passive entry system (if equipped) and the RKE transmitter (if equipped), the BCM unlocks the driver door, unlocks all the doors or locks all the doors.

Power Door Locks (with one-touch open driver window)

The door lock control switches are single pole, double throw switches. The BCM provides the voltage signal to the door lock control switch for the lock and unlock requests. When a switch is pressed to lock or unlock, the corresponding input circuit is routed to ground, indicating a request to lock or unlock the doors.

Switch Inhibit Feature

The switch inhibit feature prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle from the door lock control switches or the liftgate release switch. The BCM ignores the input from both door lock control switches and the interior liftgate release switch 20 seconds after the vehicle is electronically locked. If any of these switches are activated while they are inhibited, a chime sounds and a message displays in the message center to indicate the switches are inhibited. The BCM enables the function of these switches when the vehicle is electronically unlocked by another feature.

This feature can be configured on/off through the message center.

Power Door Locking Feedback

The exterior lamps and horn provide visual and audible feedback when unlocking and locking the doors under certain circumstances. Refer to the following chart:

NOTE: The mislock feature (if equipped) sounds the horn twice (no turn signal flash) if the hood, liftgate or any door is ajar when the lock button is pressed on a valid programmed RKE transmitter (if equipped). This feature can be configured on/off through the message center.

There is also feedback provided by the vehicle to the key for the remote start feature. For additional information regarding the remote start feedback, refer to the Owner's Literature.
