You may want to ask him to use Customer Preference Items method of module configuration.

Customer Preference Items

This method is used to enable or disable module-controlled items or systems to suit the preference of the customer. Not all features controlled by the module are listed in this configuration method. Refer to the Module Configuration Index for a list of features per module (they are Autolock and Horn Chirp)


Also keep in mind that:

If an item is changed using the customer preference items configuration method, the changed information will not be stored in the PCM VID block. The VID block will retain the original settings as they were recorded when the vehicle left the factory.
What kind of a scan tool would I check for? Would it be the common OBDII tool?

Thanks, Jerry

Module Configuration

Special Service Tool(s):

- Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) 418-F224,
- New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester 418-F052, or equivalent scan tool
- Flash Cable 418-F120 (007-00531) or equivalent

However I can not say if you need just one or all of these tools.

Re: Central Locking problem

I am really suggesting you to see the mechanic and post here what he is about to say.
