General Information:

In the case of complaints concerning the Central Locking System, the test procedures described in S.I. 51 07 91(3358) should be followed.

Should replacement of a central locking actuator or rotary striker lock prove necessary, these items should only be replaced at the affected door as a unit with the latest version which has an additional catch (refer to the second and third illustrations in this bulletin).








This table is in no way intended as a replacement for the Diagnosis and Electrical Troubleshooting Manuals. In the event of a fault, the central locking module (ZVM) should be called up and the fault memory read out using the BMW Service Tester and then the above-mentioned causes should be checked using the test sequence.
