Faulty Signal






Faulty signal

Checking the component, wiring and connectors
The control module has registered an open-circuit in the signal to the central locking switch in the door.
If the fault is intermittent, it has been registered previously but is no longer present. Intermittent faults can occur for a number of different reasons. The fault is evaluated depending on how it occurs.
Check that the central locking switch is correctly connected.

Checking the wiring
Check the signal cable between the control module and the central locking switch.
Take readings between:
- The Driver door module (DDM)/Passenger door module (PDM) #A16 (#16) and the switch for central locking #4.
Remedy as necessary.
