evinX Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi all, i have a problem with my alarm and central locking, i have a toad alarm fitted, so once the car is started with the doors closed, it locks itself. I can open the driver door from the inside but not the outside, and you cant open the passenger door from the outside or inside. Now not being able to open them from the outside is fine, but if i want to open my passenger door from the inside i have to disarm the alarm, now thats shows me that the locking units in the doors work fine, but why cant the passenger side be opened from the inside when armed just like the driver side? Im thinking relay problems but i dont have a clue where to start to get this problem solved, suggestions please. thanks, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Why would you arm the alarm while sitting in the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 You will have to remove the door panel and have a look at the lock mechanism with a torch, one of the rods may have come off or need readjusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Wasnt it just a safety feature for the driver? that it can be opened from in the side in the case of a accident when locked? however the passenger cant Im sure both my supra where the same As for opening the passenger door from the inside, just press the door unlock button on the drivers door? or turn anti jacking off If not, its probably a build up of hammerite stopping the locking motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 That is not a failiure as you can manually unlock the door using the tab, but I will check. if you had a car with no central locking it would be the same if you locked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I had this on mine - it got annoying so I turned the feature off. It's a good idea in principle but in reality it's a ballache! You'll need your alarm passcode to access the features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Its toads funky way of anti hi jack as said above you can disable this, mine was similar but allowed you to open it from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 What is the actual issue here? Is it that you can open the drivers door while it is locked by simply pulling the handle and you can't do the same with the passengers? If so that is totally normal, I asked the question a couple of months back and found that this is in fact the way it is designed. It is to allow the driver to make a quick exit from the car regardless of the current state of the lock. To open the passengers door simply flick the lock inside the handle to allow it to be opened. If the issue is that once you disarm the alarm or turn off the ignition that the locks don't automatically open then that is an alarm fault. Also if you cannot flick the switch to open the door manually then that is also an alarm fault. Sorry I got confused reading the replies, some people seem to have read something different from me so I wanted to cover both bases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 As standard you cannot open a locked Supra pass door just by pulling on the handle, you need to manually unlock it, the drivers side you can unlock and open the door just on the handle.
