Hello,

It sounds like the passenger side door module has gone out but to be sure lets make sure it is getting a signal. You will need to remove the door panel which means the passengers side seat will need to be removed before you begin. Here is a guide to help you test for signal out of the module to unlock the door latch:

Here are the wiring diagrams and door panel removal guide so you can get the idea on how to remove the panel with diagrams below for your car:
