Is it possible to disable the automatic doorlocks.........they are driving me nuts.

JB

Yes, you can set them how you want. In your DIC there is a settings part where you can set the lights and such. I have mine set that when I put in drive the locks lock. When I put it in park the locks unlock. Not sure what all the settings are but I do know you can change them around.

The Automatic door locks can be disabled through the DIC if desired but the dealer will have to reprogram the BCM with the software that allows the customer to access this function through the DIC, it is done on a customer request basis only & should be done at no charge one time, it does allow you to turn it back on with all the options you currently have now, it just adds the option to disable it as well.

Hope this helps, Todd.:)

Todd,

My dealer says there is no way. Is there any other info you can give me to tell the dealer ?? I have a good relationship with them.

mine works through the DIC and has settings for on off delay etc.

For disabling auto door locks, its year dependant, older ones you could control them, newer ones you could not disable them, on some years you could have the dealer recal the bcm, do a search I think I posted a bulletin in regards to this....

IIRC Ben mentioned you need a Tech2 to totally disable it on the 06 & 07 classics. Not sure about the 07.5s.

Anybody have the bulletin number on that one. The mechanic told me if he disable them, then I will not be able to turn them on then after. He would have to that again then. Is that true?

Ill have to go out and look in my truck, but I remember something about it in my owners manual, are you talking about a classic or new lmm, maybe the new ones have ghaced but I swear I think theres somethign in the classic owners manual about it.

I have the 2006. So the same as the 2007 classic.

If anyone has the instructions on disabling the auto locks on a 2006 I'd appreciate the info (I bought mine used with no owners manual)

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:
Some customers may comment that they are unable to override the automatic door locking feature. In prior model years, customers were able to select "Doors Lock Manually" from the DIC. However, starting in the 2005 model year, this selection was removed.

Recommendation/Instructions:
Since the 2005 model year, all BCM's (Body Control Modules) are programmed from the factory to allow two personalized door lock settings:

Setting 1: All doors lock when the transmission is shifted into gear.

Setting 2: All doors lock when the vehicle speed is greater than 8 mph (13 km/h).

New BCM calibrations have been released for the 2006 and 2007 model years to allow a Setting 3: No Automatic door locking (Manual). This setting should ONLY be turned on at the owner's request. At this time there is NO new calibration available for the 2005 models or vehicles with manual transmissions. Use one of the following procedures below to disable the auto door lock feature.

Use the following procedure to turn on this feature for models:
2006 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT

2006 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe

2006-2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic

2006-2007 GMC Sierra Classic

2006 GMC Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL

Reprogram the BCM with updated calibrations currently available in Tis2Web. When at the "Calibration Selection" screen in Tis2Web select the "locking" tab and pick the calibration listed "auto door lock option enabled on dic".

On vehicles with Steering Wheel Controls (RPO UK3) use the controls to scroll through the personalization setting to the "Auto Door Lock" feature. There will be a new "Manual" selection now available to choose, along with the two previous selections "In Gear" and "With Speed".

On vehicles Without a Steering Wheel Controls (RPO UK3) use the owners manual to enter the door lock programming mode in section

Once in the programming mode press the lock side of the drivers power door lock switch, you will hear either one, two or NO chimes. One chime indicates you are in Setting 1 (lock in gear), Two chimes you are in Setting 2 (lock with speed) and NO chimes you are in Setting 3 (Manual). Continue to press the door lock switch to scroll through the 3 different selections until you hear the desired setting and then exit the programming mode by turning the ignition key on.

Use the following procedure to turn on this feature for models:
2007 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT

2007 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe

2007 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL

Reprogram the BCM with updated calibrations currently available in Tis2Web. When at the "Calibration Selection" screen in Tis2Web select the "locking" tab and pick the calibration listed "auto door lock option enabled on dic".

On vehicles equipped with steering wheel controls (RPO UK3) DIC (Driver Information Center) control buttons are included. Use the DIC buttons to scroll through the personalization settings to the "Auto Door Lock" feature. There will be to 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 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 owners settings.

On vehicles without the DIC control buttons once the BCM is reprogrammed with the new calibration the "Auto Door Locks" will be disabled and can not be turned back on unless the BCM is reprogrammed back with the previous calibration.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
