I have a customer that does oilfield service work and the auto door lock in gear and at speed is a major PITA. It cannot be disabled via the DIC customer programming settings. I also checked on TIS2 WEB to see if the option to turn it off is available when programming the BCM and it cannot be disabled via programming.

Any ideas on if it is possible to kill it.

 

The year, make, and model would be helpful.

2011 gmc sierra short crew, the above thread is a dead end thanks for trying though.

 

The info in that thread states the auto lock feature can be disabled thru the BCM.

Recommendation/Instructions:
Since the 2005 model year, all BCM's (Body Control Modules) are programmed from the factory to lock all doors when the transmission is shifted into gear or vehicle speed is greater than 8 mph (13 km/h). There is no option to disable the auto door locks from the factory, but if an owner wishes to have the auto door locks disabled the following procedure can be performed by the dealership:

Note: Use the appropriate procedure below (either 1 or 2) for the Year and Model vehicle you are working.

1. Use the following procedure to disable the auto door locks on the models listed below:
2007-2011 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT

2007-2011 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado (new body style), Suburban, Tahoe

2007-2011 GMC Sierra (new body style), Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL

A. Reprogram the BCM with updated calibrations currently available in Tis2Web. When viewing the "Calibration Selection" screen in Tis2Web, select "locking" (should be highlighted in Red) and pick the calibration listed as "(Per Customer Request Only) Auto door locks off, option no longer in DIC".

Note: For the 2010 and 2011 Model year the calibrations are no longer selectable in TIS2WEB and Techline Customer Support (800-828-XXXX) must be contacted to obtain the calibrations.

B. After reprogramming the BCM, use the DIC controls (RPO UK3) to scroll through the personalization settings to the "Auto Door Lock" feature. There will be two different settings: "Lock with speed" or "Lock in gear". You will notice there is NO new setting but also there will be no "check This PI was superseded to update model years. Please discard PIT3189N. marks" next to any of the settings. This means the auto door lock feature is disabled. If there is a "check mark" next to one of the "Auto Door Lock" selections then the only way to remove the "check mark" is to scroll to "Factory Settings" and select "Restore", this will remove the "check mark" thus disabling the "Auto Door Lock" feature.

Note: Please keep in mind that if "Factory Settings Restored" is selected it will change all of the other personalization settings back to the factory settings and they will need to be reset back to the owner's preferences.

 

damm thanks I guess I didn't see that information when I read through there. I'll call techline in the morning and see if I can get it turned off then. Thanks

 

Do you have the TSB number on this. I looked everywhere in dealerworld and cannot find it.

 

Theres no reference number in the post. The only thing it says is that it supersedes PIT3189N.

 

PIT3189N is the bulletin you will need to reference when taking a truck into your dealer to have the auto door lock feature disabled. For 07+ trucks they will have to call GM techline give them this bulletin and they will then add the door lock change information to the VIN for your truck. AFter much digging in gm service tonight I did verify this first hand.

Since this is a customer request this procedure will not be covered under warranty. However if you are courteous they may do it as a no charge seeing as these trucks cost twice as much as my parents first house.
