type G: positive (+) multiplex
This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler
and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder
may contain either one or two resistors.
S S I I N N G G L L E E - - R R E E S S I I S S T T O O R R T T Y Y P P E E : : If one resistor is used in the door
lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12V in one direc-
tion and less than (+)12V when operated in the opposite direction.
T T W W O O - - R R E E S S I I S S T T O O R R T T Y Y P P E E : : If two resistors are used in the factory
door lock switch/key cylinder, the switch/key cylinder will read
less than (+)12V in both directions.

determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder
must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For testing, use
a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms.
note: To ensure an accurate resistance reading, do not
touch the resistor or leads during testing.

1. Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.
2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock
switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant (+)12V source.
Some good constant (+)12V references are the power input
source to the door lock switch/key cylinder, the ignition switch
