Answer
Hi
Here is the EXACT service info from GM.
Please be adviced it is VERY detailed and you'll need a working knowlege of auto electronics.
Igf you DO NOT have knowlege, you CAN seriously damage the wiring systems and or cause yourself harm.
You'll need a test lamp AND a digital Volt Meter.

Definition: This diagnostic should only be used if all door lock motors are inoperative from all switches.
