What really makes no sense is how any of this could be an input back to the BCM. Maybe it's mislabeled (from my point of view), and the BCM drives it at +12V while LOCKED, and 0V when unlocked for 15+ seconds, and whenever it wants to send a command, it applies the +12V (if unlocked before) and then sends the pulse signal.

I guess someone would have to figure out what the manual means by clipping onto this with a scope (or really, even a multi-meter would do, since the only complex bit is already documented in the diagram above).
I think I agree from reading it that the pulse appears to be coming from the BCM. Not sure that you would capture the pulses with a multimeter, they appear to be only 1ms in duration at about 75ms, 35ms, 12ms apart respectively, definitely the job for a scope.

I think the main thing it going to be giving the ECU the correct signals on 97 (S1), 98 (S2).
