Locking and Unlocking
Neutral is switched to the door lock assembly by
the door switch. L1 is pulsed to the other side of the
solenoid from IMC J701-5 when the door is locked
or unlocked.
Door Position Detection
When the door switch is closed, neutral is present at
IMC J701-5 indicating that the door is closed. When
the door switch is open, neutral is not present
at IMC J701-5 indicating that the door is open.
Lock Position Sensing
When the door is locked the lock switch will be
closed, causing neutral to be present at IMC J701-1
indicating that the door is locked. When the door is
not locked the lock switch will be open and neutral
will not be present at IMC J701-1 indicating the door
is not locked.
