Central locking system, functional testing: Notes

2002 Volkswagen Golf GLS, 2.0 K, StandardSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 19 other vehicles, including the 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, 1999 Volkswagen Golf, 1999 Volkswagen GTI, 1998 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1998 Volkswagen Golf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • If the system is intact, all latches must be locked within approx. 2 seconds. If the central locking system pump and control module -V69- runs longer than 5 seconds, there is a leak in the system.
  • If the pump shuts off after approx. 5 seconds and starts up again after 12 seconds, the latch knob was not pushed down on at least one door or the switching point was not reached in the actuator.
