Typical repair cost: $80 – $500
Severity Level 1 — Low
This code indicates a minor issue that is unlikely to cause immediate driveability problems. You can typically continue driving but should have the vehicle inspected at your earliest convenience.
Common Symptoms
- Door locks cycling (locking/unlocking) on their own while driving
- Power door locks not functioning as expected
- Warning light or message on dashboard related to the power door lock/latch system
- Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) stored in module memory
Possible Causes
- Failed door lock actuator — internal fault from age, heat cycling, and vibration
- Damaged wiring or corroded connector in the power door lock/latch system circuit
- Blown fuse for the power door lock/latch system circuit — check before replacing components
- Faulty control module driving the door lock actuator
- Loose or corroded ground point shared by the power door lock/latch system
- Broken wire in the door jamb wiring boot — harness flexes every time the door opens, eventually wires break inside the rubber boot
Common Fixes
- Scan vehicle with a professional-grade OBD2 scanner to read all stored codes and freeze frame data — note the conditions when the code set ($1-126 at shop, free at auto parts store for basic scan)
- Visually inspect the power door lock/latch system wiring harness and connectors — look for chafed wires, melted insulation, green corrosion, loose pins, or rodent damage (often free to check yourself, $92 diagnostic fee at shop)
- Inspect the wiring boot where it passes from the body into the door — this is the #1 failure point. Peel back the rubber boot and check for broken/cracked wires ($0 DIY inspection)
- Replace door lock actuator if testing confirms it has failed — use OEM quality, avoid the cheapest no-name aftermarket parts that fail in a year ($80-500)
- Check and replace any blown fuses in the power door lock/latch system fuse circuit — if fuse blows again, there's still a short that needs to be found ($2-14 for fuses)
