Meriva B Key Icon & Red Door: Beeping Issue, Exclamation Mark, Driving Safety & Potential Faults

Gentlemen, my wife just called and says that the car is going crazy.
The car started, the traffic started, and only info about the lights and a red icon with a door and a key, and an exclamation mark next to it.

The car beeps all the time

Can you go or can't? What might the fault suggest?

Maybe check which icon is on?



Automatic blocking
locks
The lamp lights in color
amber.
Automatic system failure
blocking.
The back door probably isn't
secured against opening.
p. 104

It's a bit under the indication 117km / h

In the instructions, they only write about ordination. It shines and a loud sound is ringing all the time.

Door locks checked.
The activated parental lock does not ring but the icon stays on even though the door cannot be opened from the inside.
On and off the lock rings and lights up

Symptoms similar to damage to the door closing sensor. Is he calling at a stop or while driving?

Both at a standstill and while driving. It starts ringing when the ignition is switched on.

Hi,
From today I have the same problem and I haven't been able to determine the reason yet
Maybe I would add that before the problem occurred, while driving (stopping at traffic lights, for example), the central lock freaked out - it opened and closed until I started again.

Anelus80 did you solve the problem? Today we have the same thing since the morning ...

Do you know what it was I have the same thing since morning ...

Central locking released. In my case, right rear and flap. The exchange solves the problem. If someone has steel nerves and can withstand constant squeaking, you can ride without repair

Hello, my problem occurred today when the temperature dropped to -15, the tailgate lock was frozen. When I opened it, the icon with the key appeared and this annoying signal, and the stupid central after stopping the car at the traffic lights. Case or failure of the central door locking system.

The sound can be turned off. The procedure is trivial, but for the uninitiated it is impossible to guess. It is described in the Opel Meriva B manual in the door lock section:
"Automatic locking system malfunction. In the event of a system malfunction, the indicator light on the instrument cluster lights up and an audible warning sounds to indicate that the rear door can be opened. Inform passengers not to grip the door handles. Immediately stop and activate both child lock If the child lock is already active, first deactivate it and then reactivate it. As soon as the child locks are activated, the green LEDs go out and the audible warning stops. Pull the inner rear door handles to check that the doors are unlocked from the inside . Belongs
to the workshop. "

how to check which lock is released problem with the icon with the automatic door closing key please advise

Mostly the MDI diagnosis (or other tester) shows which lock causes a failure .....

Hello. I have had the same problem in Meriva for several days. Locks go crazy when starting and stopping the car, the indicator of the door is not lit all the time plus a signal. Sometimes the problem disappears but the next day it appears. Have any of you dealt with this problem? Where can you buy such a castle? There are no stimulants in stores and they have no place to bring them from.

I bought recently at an ASO and there was no problem with importing (3 business days) ....

Thanks for the quick reply. Can you say what price for the castle? The mechanic connected the toy car to the computer and detected a defect in the left rear lock, called shops, wholesalers in which he purchased parts and meriva b locks do not have

The key icon problem is caused by a fault in one of the rear door locks.
Diagnosis can occur as shown.

The connection of the rear door locks is shown in the figure below.

Status of DIP switch "ON"
S1 - door closed (external handle locked)
S2 - door open (the switch opens when the door is closed)
S3 - child lock - red sensor (the inner handle is locked after turning the sensor)
S4 - locked (the inner handle is locked when actuated)
The states of the locks are shown in the figure below.

The lock is easiest to check without disassembly in the joint between the body and the door.
Just pull on the cuff. First, unlock the clasp on the top of the cuff. The bottom is hooked behind the protrusion, be careful not to break. After pulling the sleeve back, open the connector lock and pull out the connector.

The fault may be caused by the M2 motor (worn brushes, broken motor windings, or a burnt motor), microswitch S4 (stuck contact) or a stiff operation of the locking mechanism (most often).
In the connector, it is enough to check the condition of the M2 motor by briefly connecting 12V AC to pins 10 and 18. You must hear a distinct click. At the same time, measure the state of the microswitch by connecting an ohmmeter to pins 2 and 13. The value should be 1.97 kOhm closed, 8.2 kOhm open.

The lock is relatively difficult to dismantle. You need to drill 2 dowels, into which holes are then drilled and an M4 thread is cut. Remove the cover, otherwise it is impossible to unscrew the side cover, under which there is access to the motors, microswitches and the locking mechanism.
Sorry, my Polish.

Moderated By CameR:

Reg. 3.1.11. Don't post messages that add nothing to the discussion.

for me the culprit was the fuse from the radio, the light was on but not beeping

I had the same problem. Appeared in winter. Due to the lack of time, I endured a problem that recurred periodically throughout the winter. Over the summer, the problem resolved itself. These locks must be poorly protected against moisture, which is not lacking in winter, and road salt on top of that. Will the problem return in the winter?

Hi,
I have a similar problem, but both rear doors are locked and will not open. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated to get the rear doors open.

>>19871282 Dear Friend can you please give more info on how to open the lock - where to drill the holes and also more info on the 9 pin lock connector ??
Thank You
