Motor, Door Lock: Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Chrysler 300 and 2019 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The power lock motors are controlled by outputs received from the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts upon programming, hardwired inputs from the driver or passenger door lock switches as well as electronic lock or unlock command message inputs received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Radio Frequency Hub (RF-Hub) based upon inputs from the Finger Operated Button Integrated Key (FOBIK) transmitters.
A positive and negative battery connection to the two lock motor terminals will cause the motor to move in one direction, locking or unlocking the latch. Reversing the current will cause the motor to move in the opposite direction.
