What Causes the Central Locking System Failure in Chery Tiggo 5?
2 Answers
Chery Tiggo 5 central locking system failure may be due to a dead remote battery. Here are the specific reasons: Dead remote battery: If the battery is depleted, the doors cannot be controlled via the remote, but manual locking/unlocking is still possible. Strong magnetic field interference near power stations or high-power electrical devices can disrupt the connection between the remote and door locks. Remote signal loss is another common issue requiring recoding. Aging motor: Common central locking system failures include: motor aging (requires replacement), blown fuse in the switch circuit (requires replacement), faulty central locking control unit (requires replacement), or loosened main motor linkage (needs tightening). Issues like blown fuses can only be resolved by replacement, unless the problem is mechanical and repairable.
I once experienced a central locking system failure with my Tiggo 5, possibly due to a blown fuse or faulty relay. First, check if the remote key battery is dead and try replacing it with a new one. Secondly, if the door lock motor or sensor is aged or water-damaged, it can easily get stuck. Short circuits are common, especially after rain when components get damp. If you're DIY-inclined, open the door side panel to inspect the fuse box for any melted fuses. If all else fails, take it to a shop for computer diagnostics. Safety first - driving with faulty locks is frustrating; I almost couldn't enter my car that time. Remember to regularly clean lock mechanisms during maintenance to prevent dust buildup - small issues shouldn't turn into major repairs, saving unnecessary expenses.
