Operation
The central locking system of the car locks or unlocks the doors and the luggage compartment lid when the key is turned in the lock of the driver's door.

Terminal 4 of control unit 175 for the central locking system is continuously supplied from fuse 24, via 29-pole white connector 152A. The control unit is controlled by key switch 183 in the driver's door.

When the driver's door is locked, terminal 1 of the control unit will be earthed via earthing point 117.

Current will then flow from output 8. Both central locking motors will now be energized for approx. 1 second and the doors will be locked. The motors are earthed through pin 7 of the control unit, and on from terminal 3 to earthing point 117.

When the driver's door is unlocked, terminal 2 of the control unit will instead be earthed across the key switch. The motors will now be energized from pin 7 instead, and will be earthed across pin 8 of the control unit (for approx. 1 second), causing the locks to open.

Fault-tracing hints
1. Check fuse 24 and check that the supply to it is live.
2. Check that the supply to terminal 4 of control unit 175 is live.
3. Check that pin 7 of the control unit is live when the doors are being unlocked and that pin 8 is live when the doors are being locked.
Note that terminals 7 and 8 are only energized for around one second in conjunction with locking and unlocking. Measurement at these terminals must therefore be carried out when key switch 183 is switching over.
4. Check the connectors, cable harnesses and earth connections.

Note
On testing, the actuating motors may be connected to terminals 7 and 8 of the control unit only. Do not connect them to any other power supply sources. Doing so may overload the motors and damage them.
