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. <EOS>
