Automatic door locks will not work.

There are rumors that there are "hidden" features accessible by the dealer. If this is something you dont want, contact your local dealer and ask if that is something they can turn off.

auto door lock reciever ? ????? The BCM - body control module controls auto lock . Remote keyless entry - key fob lock's & unlock's door's . What problem are you having ? Won't lock when gear selector is move to drive or when going 5 mph ?

The BCM controls these functions:
• Audible warnings, refer to Audible Warnings Description and Operation in Instrument Panel, Gages and Console
• Automatic door locks, refer to Power Door Locks Description and Operation in Doors


your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

This is a wild guess, but it sounds like the switch that controls the door is constantly trying to open the door. It could be the door switch. Try locking the door with the door switch and then hold the lock slightly down to see if it is a mechanical failure in the switch. If not, the remote system may be sending the unlock. You could always pull the fuse for the automatic locks and see if the key will lock/unlock without problem. But then you'd never have remote entry.

if you use the central locking all the time the lockes get clogged you need to spray loads and loads off wd40 or other brands in the key hole to flush out the lockes. and then the pins will move so the key will go in.

does this help? look in owners manual for how to turn "on or off" the auto lock feature.


Automatic Door Lock/Unlock
The automatic door unlock function is a vehicle personalization feature with the following 3?programmable modes of operation:
1. All: All of the doors will automatically unlock. 2. Driver: The driver's door will automatically unlock. 3. None: The doors will need to be unlocked by a door switch command or by pressing the the lock button on the RKE transmitter. The All or Driver modes may also be programmed as to when the automatic door unlocking will occur.
1. Key Off: The door(s) will unlock when the key is turned off. 2. Shift to Park: The door(s) will unlock when the vehicle is shifted into P (Park). The delay lock function may be enabled or disabled. When the function has been disabled, the doors will only lock by a door switch command or by pressing the the lock button on the RKE transmitter. When enabled, the doors will not lock until five seconds after the last door is closed.

Can you unlock from the outside with key? Please go live chat.

Did these doors quit at the same time or over a period. It seems that the actuators for the locks have gone bad. With the mentioned doors, that's a lot weight for the actuators to unlock and pop open. With the remotes and console not working , that's more reason to think the actuators are the problem.

lock actuator is bad...

Yes, there is a way to reprogram your car to lock the doors when the gear selector is put into Drive.

Automatic door locks on the 2001 Sonata doesn't exist. The doors are locked manually (by the driver) or by using the Keless Remote. To answer your question, YES, there is a separate relay for each function .. this means there is a relay which LOCKS the doors, and there is a separate relay which UNLOCKS the doors. They are located side-by-side on the I/P junction box (I/P = Instrument Panel).
They are both labeled "Lock", but one "UNLOCKS" while the other one 'LOCKS'.
Hope this helps.
