#9 of 13 Re: Suburban doors lock by themselves [ptownbubba] by kiawah Sep 03, 2008 (10:10 am)
Replying to: ptownbubba (Sep 03, 2008 9:31 am) The vehicle has a BCM (Body Control Module), which is a computer that manages doors/windows/lights/locks/etc. Nothing really to do with whether you have OnStar or not.   I didn't realize it would do that under the circumstances of leaving the keys in the ignition (since I never leave keys in the ignition), but seems totally reasonable. Most newer vehicles will lock the doors automatically after a short period of time, after it receives an 'unlock' command from the key-fob, followed by 'not' detecting a door opening.

So,,,,, probably nothing wrong,,, just better not leave keys in vehicle,,,, the BCM must get nervous seeing those keys hangin' there, and the owner not around. Sort of a "pain" when you live in the sticks where keys in vehicles is pretty common.   Thanks for the reply,,,,   greg Replies to this message: kiawah (Sep 03, 2008 10:30 am)

Replying to: ptownbubba (Sep 03, 2008 10:25 am) I'll actually do a test for you, I will go put the keys in my 07LTZ which is in the garage, and lets see it it does the same.

ok,,,, cool,,, ya' know what,, I will do the same here,,, see what happens,,,will post results tomorrow.   Of course you know if it does not lock the doors, this time,,,,, that will be a head scratcher.    Pulled into drive,,,,, opened both front doors, to get out, opened back door to get some stuff out,, took cooler out of rear hatch; keys were left in ignition,,,, windows up,,,, doors unlocked,,,, that is how it was the other day.
