18 © 2003 directed electronics, inc. keyless entr y systems—three types There are three main types of keyless entr y systems. Systems that unlock the driver’ s door first and have internal relays, systems that unlock the driver’ s door first but have external relays, and systems without driver’ s priority door unlock.
© 2003 directed electronics, inc. 19 external relays—driver’ s door unlock This system is used in many four-door GM sedans. T o test for this type of system, probe the unlock wire from the interior switch (black or white). Unlock the driver’ s door , by itself, using the factor y remote.
20 © 2003 directed electronics, inc. no priority—driver’ s door unlock This type of keyless entr y system is common in import vehicles as well as many Jeep vehicles. When unlocking the doors with the transmitter all doors unlock at the same time.
© 2003 directed electronics, inc. 21 door lock harness wire connection guide ___ ___ ___ The control module can control 2 common power door lock types without any addition- al parts. With cer tain verhicles, or if an actuator is to be installed, either a 451M Door Lock Relay Satellite or two relays will be required.
