connector terminal and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B176) No. 5 (+) —Chassis ground (–):
(B176) No. 16 (+) —Chassis ground
(–):
Is the voltage more than 10
V? Go to step 2. Check the har- ness for open cir-
cuits or shorts
between the key-
less entry control
module and the
fuse.
2 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT.
Measure the resistance between the harness
connector terminal and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B176) No. 14 (+) —Chassis ground
(–):
Is the resistance less than
10 Ω?Power supply and ground circuit is
OK.
Repair harness.

UNLOCK.
Connector & terminal
(B176) No. 7 (+) —Chassis ground (–):
Is the resistance less than
10 Ω?Go to step 2. Go to step 3.
2 CHECK DOOR LOCK SWITCH CIRCUIT.
Measure the resistance between the harness
connector terminal and chassis ground when
the driver’s door lock knob is moved to LOCK.
Connector & terminal
(B176) No. 7 (+) —Chassis ground (–):
Is the resistance less than
10 Ω?Go to step 3. The door lock switch is OK.
3 CHECK DOOR LOCK SWITCH.
1) Disconnect the driver’s door lock switch
(actuator) harness connector.
2) Check the continuity between the door lock
switch terminals when moving the door lock
knob to UNLOCK.
Terminal
No. 1 —No. 3:

5. CHECK DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR AND
CIRCUIT S909348A1005
No. Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL.
Measure the voltage between the harness
connector terminal and chassis ground when
moving the door lock knob to LOCK.
Connector & terminal
(B176) No. 18 (+) —Chassis ground
(–):
Is the voltage more than 10
V? Go to step 2. Replace the key- less entry control
module.
2 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL.
Measure the voltage between the harness
connector terminal and chassis ground when
moving the door lock knob to UNLOCK.
Connector & terminal
(B176) No. 17 (+) —Chassis ground
(–):
Is the voltage more than 10
V? Go to step 3. Replace the key- less entry control
module.
3 CHECK DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR.
Check the door lock actuator.
Front door lock actuator: <Ref. to SL-30 Front
Door Lock Actuator.>
Rear door lock actuator: <Ref. to SL-34 Rear
Door Lock Actuator.>
Rear gate latch lock actuator: <Ref. to SL-37
Rear Gate Latch Lock Actuator.>
Is the door lock actuator
OK? Check the har- ness for open cir-
cuits or shorts
