Hi guys,
Hoping someone might have an idea what is wrong with my car. My VZ's central locking is not working correctly. The drivers front door unlocks and locks fine, but be 3 passenger doors will not unlock. You can not unlock any of them with either the remote central locking, or manually with the key in the driver's door or even by the lock tab on the door so I am unable open any of those the doors.
Things I have tried after researching around the net.
1. Replaced the front drivers door actuator with a new one
2. Replaced the ignition key remote central locking tab with a MAP brand key and bought the encoder also recoded it myself. The key works perfectly now. It's fixed the engine immobiliser issue I've been having because my old key was playing up.
3. Turned off the 2 step unlock function in the control menu
4. Found a procedure for a BCM reset, followed the instructions but not sure it actually worked. I still did the idle relearning process after attempting the reset.
5. Found a procedure to turn the central locking function on or off. You had to turn the ignition a few times and press the unlock button 3 times between each step. I couldn't get the vehicle to sound the horn which the procedure said should happen when the sequence was completed correctly.
My central locking worked perfectly then one day the 3 doors just stopped unlocking. When you keep pressing the remote unlock button the first click will unlock the driver's door and the second click just makes the indicators flash twice instead of unlocking the 3: passenger doors.
Before I shell out for a replacement BCM Module would anyone have any suggestions or tips/instructions on how to properly do the module resets, or other things to check or try i.e like info on how to control the central lock functions like turning it on and off by following a specific sequence of button presses and key turns to access it. I am stuck for ideas, I cant find any info anywhere to fault find and fix what ever the issue is causing a 3 door lock failure, the only stuff I can find all related to just or 2 doors and I'm thinking the 3 door fault might be might be something a bit more Major than the 2 door fixes. Just like to exhaust all my options before I just keep chucking money at buying parts and gradually replacing each part of the system with new stuff.
