A lock mechanism for a vehicle latch, the lock mechanism comprising: a release cable actuated by a handle available to a user; a cable end fitting disposed at an end of the release cable; a cable link defining an opening for receiving the release cable, the cable link retaining the cable end fitting therein, wherein tensioning of the release cable moves the cable link from a first position to a second position by overcoming a spring force applied to the cable link, the spring force biasing the cable link to the first position; a pawl release link selectively coupled to the cable link, the pawl release link and the cable link switchable between a coupled condition and a decoupled condition, the coupled condition resulting in corresponding movement of the cable link and the pawl release link, the decoupled condition resulting in independent movement of the cable link and the pawl release link; a release clutch moveable between an unlocked positon and a locked position, the unlocked position disposing the release clutch in contact with the pawl release link to couple the cable link and the pawl release link, the locked position decoupling the cable link and the pawl release link; and an electrically driven gear operative with the release clutch to electrically reset the release clutch to the locked position; characterized in that the cable link and the pawl release link translate in the coupled condition and in the decoupled condition; in that the release clutch is pivotably coupled to the cable link; and in that the reset of the release clutch is upon detection of a vehicle speed in excess of a threshold speed. a release cable actuated by a handle available to a user; a cable end fitting disposed at an end of the release cable; a cable link defining an opening for receiving the release cable, the cable link retaining the cable end fitting therein, wherein tensioning of the release cable moves the cable link from a first position to a second position by overcoming a spring force applied to the cable link, the spring force biasing the cable link to the first position; a pawl release link selectively coupled to the cable link, the pawl release link and the cable link switchable between a coupled condition and a decoupled condition, the coupled condition resulting in corresponding movement of the cable link and the pawl release link, the decoupled condition resulting in independent movement of the cable link and the pawl release link; a release clutch moveable between an unlocked positon and a locked position, the unlocked position disposing the release clutch in contact with the pawl release link to couple the cable link and the pawl release link, the locked position decoupling the cable link and the pawl release link; and an electrically driven gear operative with the release clutch to electrically reset the release clutch to the locked position; characterized in that the cable link and the pawl release link translate in the coupled condition and in the decoupled condition; in that the release clutch is pivotably coupled to the cable link; and in that the reset of the release clutch is upon detection of a vehicle speed in excess of a threshold speed.
