Why does the Civic trunk not close and make a beeping sound?

The reason why the Civic trunk does not close and makes a beeping sound is due to a lack of lubricant inside the trunk door lock, causing parts to jam and preventing normal operation. You can first disassemble the trunk door lock, add lubricant, and then operate it. Taking the Civic 2019 220TURBO Manual JinKong Edition National VI as an example: The manufacturer of this car is Dongfeng Honda, classified as a compact car, with an energy type of gasoline, a maximum power of 130kw, and a maximum torque of 226nm. The car's length, width, and height are 4658mm, 1800mm, and 1416mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, a 6-speed manual transmission, a body type of 4-door 5-seater sedan, and a top speed of 210 km/h.
After all these years in auto repair, I've frequently encountered Civic trunk issues where it won't close properly with beeping sounds - usually caused by faulty trunk locks or sensor failures. The beeping is the car's warning that the door isn't securely closed. Don't rush to fix it immediately; first check if there's any debris like luggage stuck in the door gap. If the trunk is clear, it's likely due to rusted/jammed lock mechanisms or poor wire connections causing controller false alarms. I recommend spraying lubricant on the lock mechanism first. If that doesn't work, inspect whether the trunk switch connector is loose. Civic's trunk electronics are quite sensitive - even dust accumulation can trigger false warnings. For safety, never drive with the trunk open - visit a professional repair shop promptly for minor part replacements. During regular car washes, remember to clean around the sensors as preventive maintenance.
