Tactical Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Seeking guidance and counsel. When I replaced a faulty passenger front door latch this afternoon, the vehicle (a 1996 DSE) automatically locked the driver's door and tailgate (but not the passenger or rear doors) when I reconnected the new latch. Curiously, I managed to start the engine. Subsequently, I attempted to use the EKA (since the key-fobs were ineffective), resulting in the immediate deactivation of the engine. Does anybody know whether my Nanocom has the capability to both reactivate the engine and open the door that is in a state of superlock (I would like to avoid cutting through the striker again).

Seconsu Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It would have been advisable to inspect and fix the driver's door before anything else. Furthermore, as I have said on several occasions, it is essential to consistently leave doors ajar and manually activate the latches prior to assessing the functionality of the locks. In the event of any complications, accessing the latch will be easy. If the latch motors are functioning properly, they should deactivate both the superlock and standard lock mechanisms with either a single turn of the key to the unlocked position or a single press of the fob. An option may be found in the Nanocom BECM Outputs menu. Choose the necessary "door unlock" option and activate the motor by pressing the ON button. The P38 lacks a mechanism to deactivate the superlock feature without first unlocking the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Thank you so much for your really valuable guidance. I did not manipulate the latch of the drivers at any point. I believe that it detected tampering at the passenger lock and exhibited erratic behaviour. I wanted to verify whether the "left hand FR door open" problem message had been eliminated due to the installation of the new latch. It had not. I inadvertently left the passenger door ajar and intended to keep the driver's door open, but due to distraction, I absentmindedly closed it.

NarrativePsych Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 If the automobile is from the model year 1997 or later, it will be equipped with a BeCM (Body electronic Control Module) of version V36 or newer. If that is really the situation, you may input the Electronic Key Authorization (EKA) by directly entering it on the Nanocom device. If you were capable of starting the engine, what was the reason for entering the EKA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Thank you. Given that it is a vehicle with a registration starting with the letter "P," there is a slight possibility that it may be equipped with the Body Electrical Control Module (BECM). I anticipated that the EKA code would successfully open the highly secured door. I have personally used the EKA method to successfully reactivate the engine, at least in terms of deactivating the engine's previous state. Attempted it twice this afternoon before abandoning it and moving on to another task. I will attempt to use the Nanacom either tomorrow or at the beginning of next week.

NarrativePsych Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The ignition must be turned off in order to establish a connection between a Nanocom device and the BeCM. To deactivate the immobiliser, access the BeCM Utilities and input the Emergency Key Access (EKA) code. This may be done if the BeCM version is V36 or newer. Connecting to the BeCM will not be possible if it is before a certain time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Oh, that's a setback. Do you have any suggestions on what to do in such situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NarrativePsych Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 If you are unable to establish a connection, your only recourse is to use the key in the door lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Upon my arrival this morning, fully prepared to attempt the nanocom and EKA procedures, I decided to test the spare keyfob instead. Unfortunately, the keyfob exhibited no indicators of functionality, resulting in the successful unlocking and reactivation of the vehicle. Thank you for all the guidance - very appreciated.

NarrativePsych Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I had previously seen an automobile equipped with two fobs, one of which was illuminated while the other was inactive, giving the impression that it was not functioning. The one that failed to illuminate synchronised and functioned flawlessly. The second one ultimately did, but it was a separate narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
