Repairing central locking system
For additional information Electrical Wiring
Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component
Locations binder.
Notes:

After the car has been parked for a lengthy time
and/or after replacing the central locking system
pump, the central locking system will not
function properly until prompted repeatedly.
When the system is operating correctly, all
locks will close within 2 seconds.
If the pump operates for longer than 5 seconds,
there is a leak in the system.
When there is a leak in the system, the pump
must not run for more than 30 seconds. The
pump's control unit must shut it off at this point.
All the lock actuators are equipped with special
vacuum line connectors that must lock when
plugged in.
