Fault Code 61



Alarm system I32; 148

Fault code 61

Central locking limit position "Unlocked" not reached

Diagnostic conditions
- Central locking system activated to "unlocked"

Possible cause of fault
- Wrong country coding.
- Short circuit to ground/open circuit in wiring between the alarm system control module, central locking switch or door locks
- Door lock (driver's/passenger's) faulty
- Control module faulty

Affected terminals
Plug A, pins 5, 28, 29, 30 and 32
Plug B, pin 3

NOTE: During troubleshooting, the micro switches of the door locks are tested in Step 4. The test is to be used only for vehicles with "safe position". USA vehicles do not have a safe position; "Driver's door secured" and "Passenger's door secured" are therefore displayed during the Input signals test.
