Power Locks
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The BCM locks or unlocks the doors when an actuation input signal from a door lock switch or RKE is received. The BCM turns on the output drivers and provides a voltage level to the door lock motor for a specified time. All passenger doors can be locked or unlocked using a mechanical button mounted on the door trim panel. The front passenger doors and tailgate can be locked or unlocked by using the key cylinder (tailgate cylinder does not lock/unlock vehicle, it only unlocks the tailgate). The tailgate will lock and can not be unlocked if the rear wiper switch is activated (this prevents the wiper from operating when the tailgate is ajar). The tailgate will also lock if battery power is lost and then restored.
