Do you know anything about automotive electronic's ? What a BCM is ? body control module (computer) or anything about automotive electrical circuit's ?
DTC B3137 or B3138
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• DTC B3137 All Door Lock Circuit Low
• DTC B3138 All Door Lock Circuit High

What this is saying is the BCM saw a higher then normal voltage on that door lock circuit . Looking at diagnostic trouble shooting chart for that code should be done by a qualified service technician .

Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) monitors and supplies an output voltage on the door lock control circuit. When the BCM receives a lock command from the remote control door lock receiver or an automatic door lock function has been activated, the BCM supplies voltage on the door lock control circuit to LOCK the doors.

Install a scan tool.
With a scan tool, command the door lock relay ON and OFF.
Does the door lock relay turn ON and OFF with each command?

3
Disconnect the door lock relay.
Probe the door lock control circuit at the door lock relay with a test lamp connected to a good ground.
With a scan tool, command the door lock relay ON and OFF.
Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each command?

Learning how to test electrical circuit's an using a wiring diagram an a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter or test light is how to find the problem .

SOURCE: When locking van the horn sounds but the van's

One of the doors or the boot is not closed or the sensor is faulty on one of these. You can remove the sensor and disconnect the plug to disable the sensor until you get it fixed.

SOURCE: I need code for entry on driver side door of 2005 Ford freestar van. I locked keys out I mean inside car I need code

You probably won't get this over the internet, since that would be a code for every thief in the world to get into a Ford Freestar. You should check the paperwork that came with the vehicle for the code. It is different for each car. Also, there are usually two sets of keys - can you use the other set to unlock?
As a last resort, a local locksmith will be able to get the doors unlocked.

Where would I check for airfow and vacuum problems in a 1994 chevy Astor van.

Under throttle body. Take a can of carb cleaner(make sure you don't have plug wires breaking down) spray under throttle body if it changes the way the engine runs you found it. Egr and pcv are other less likely. Should be getting a lean code if you got a vacuum leak

2005 Chevy Impala. The door locks keep locking during drive.

It's probably a bad input to the BCM - body control module ! Have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes .
The automatic door lock function can only be enabled by the body control module (BCM) if the driver door open switch and door ajar switches are in the Closed state. For information on programming the automatic door locks, refer to Vehicle Personalization in Personalization.
DTC B3064 or B3069
DTC B3127
DTC B3128, B3133, or B3138
DTC B3132
DTC B3137
DTC B3272
Your best bet , take it to the chevy dealer . Unless you own a GM factory Tech 2 scan tool an have access to factory sevice repair info.
.
The outputs to the door lock actuators are controlled by the body control module (BCM). When the BCM receives a lock input from a door lock switch, or a keyless entry transmitter, it applies battery positive voltage to the door lock actuator lock control circuit, a ground to the door lock actuator unlock control, and the driver door lock actuator unlock control circuits. When the BCM receives an unlock input from a door lock switch, it applies battery positive voltage to the door lock actuator unlock control, the driver door lock actuator unlock control circuits, and a ground to the door lock actuator lock control circuit . When the BCM receives an single Unlock input from a keyless entry transmitter, it applies battery positive voltage to the driver door lock actuator unlock control circuit and a ground to the door lock actuator lock control circuit to unlock the driver door. A second Unlock input from the transmitter applies battery positive voltage to the door lock actuator unlock control circuit, and a ground to the door lock actuator lock control circuit to unlock the passenger doors.

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• DTC B3128 Left Front/Driver Door Unlock Circuit High
• DTC B3133 All Door Unlock Circuit High
• DTC B3138 All Door Lock Circuit High
