In a particular embodiment, the closure latch includes a ratchet movable between an open position and a closed position and biased towards the open position. A pawl is provided and is movable between a ratchet locking position wherein the pawl holds the ratchet in the closed position and a ratchet release position wherein the pawl permits the ratchet to move to the open position, and wherein the pawl is biased towards the ratchet locking position. An inside door release lever is operatively connectable to the pawl. A lock includes a lock link movable between an unlocked position wherein the lock link operatively connects the inside door release lever to the pawl, and a locked position wherein the inside door release lever operatively disconnects the inside door release lever from the pawl, wherein the lock link is biased towards the unlocked position. The lock further includes a lock lever cam rotatable between an unlocking range wherein the lock lever cam permits the lock link to move to the unlocked position, and a locking range wherein the lock lever moves the lock link to the locked position. The lock further includes an override member connected for rotation with the lock lever cam and rotatable between an actuatable range wherein the inside door release lever is engageable with the override member to move the lock lever cam to the unlocking range, and a non-actuatable range wherein the inside door release lever is operatively disconnected from the override member. The lock is positionable in an unlocked state wherein the lock link is in the unlocked position, a locked state wherein the lock link is in the locked position, the lock lever cam is in the locking range and the override member is in the actuatable range, and an additional locked state wherein the lock link is in the locked position, the lock lever cam is in the locking range and the override member is in the non-actuatable range.
