Why Can't the Driver's Door Open After Unlocking?

[EloiseMarie]

If the driver's door cannot open after unlocking, it may be due to water in the door handle sensing area or rain impact during wet weather. Below are detailed explanations of the possible causes: Water in the door handle sensing area: The vehicle's door handle uses a capacitive sensor, and the resulting capacitive noise interferes with the capacitive detection of the door handle antenna, causing the antenna to enter an automatic protection mode. This reduces the sensitivity of unlocking and locking, and in severe cases, the unlock/lock function may temporarily become unavailable. Rain impact during wet weather: Under rain impact, the door handle's capacitive sensor continuously detects changes in capacitance. To avoid false triggering, the door handle antenna enters a rain mode. In this mode, the locking sensing time is extended, and the sensitivity of unlocking and locking is reduced.
