Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Pneumatic Supply Lines
The power lock actuators are controlled by pneumatic supply lines that transfer either vacuum or pressure from the Central Locking Pump/Security System Module to the component through distributors. When trouble shooting problems related to the pneumatic portion of the power lock system, a preliminary inspection should be performed to determine that the pneumatic supply lines and harness connectors are free from kink or blockage damage. If necessary, repairs to the pneumatic supply lines or harness connectors must be performed first before proceeding with additional power lock system diagnosis.
