That control module controls the locks, not the latch assembly that allows you to open the door. Might be as simple as lubricating the latch assembly in the door jamb. May be a linkage problem inside the door although that wouldn’t typically be affected by cold weather. Are you sure it’s unlocking? Can you lock and unlock it with the key?
