Driver door cannot be opened from outside e85

[andrassziffer]

Hi, I have a 2.2i e85 roadster. A few weeks ago when I opened the car and the driver side door remained locked so I had to use the other side to get in. After inserted the key and moved down and up the windows the door was okay again and the issue haven't come back since then. Yesterday when I tried to get out of the car with windows down it didn't let me out, I had to move up the windows to get out. Since then, I cannot open the drivers door from outside. From inside after I get into the car from the passenger side and insert and move a little bit the key the driver side door can be opened from inside, but from outside it remains stuck. I read the fault codes, please see the attached image. After clearing the codes the 07-[007] Anti-theft alarm system error message remains there, the others disappear. The alarm system doesn't work, I tried locking the doors while sitting inside. Turning off the DSWA doesn't solve the issue and it hasn't been working since a long time. Of course I tried locking and unlocking with key and remote as well, same result.
Can it be related to the GM5 module? Seems like not a physical issue. Thanks in advance!

It sounds like your gm5 is starting to fail

If it’s locking and unlocking from the fob is the issue that points to it

Any issues starting with the wipers or lights?

Thank you very much for the reply. No issues with the wipers, I rarely use the them as it is just a sunny-day-car, but they seem to be okay. Lights are okay as well, one strange thing is that the lights are on in every position, I cannot turn them off while the engine is on, but I bought the car in this state.

I think that's a coding thing.
My wife's is like that.
I tend to agree with [ref]bigwinn[/ref], it sounds like the GM5 is starting to fail.
You can plug another one in to check it, but you may lose any specific coding set up in it.
You do need to check if it is a standard one or a 'Star 12' as the two are not interchangeable.

Can I get the version from Delphi? I got these infos under the ZKE modul

And I received the following error codes

I'm thinking it has to be the GM5
I 'think' the Controller Variant Coding 05 means it is the '5' not the 'Star 12'.
But it is fairly easy to lower it down and read the label without disconnecting it.

I checked it, it is the star12 version - GM5 Star12 LOW. Can it be repaired with the standard relay replacement?

In the Uk there are only a couple of places that will repair Star 12 as they are different. I don’t know any more than that, sorry.

I have a few of both ..let me know if you need one .

Try this for a repair?

Thank you very much! I’m in Europe, Hungary, but maybe a UK repair would also work.
