Warning! The driver's door open sensor is not interchangeable with the passenger door open sensors, as it has two outputs, and the passenger door open sensors have one each.
Comment. When removing and installing the open door sensor, it is not necessary to disconnect the battery, since when the switch wire is shorted to «mass» only the interior lamp and the side door open warning lamp will come on.
You will need a multimeter to do the job.
Removing
1. We prepare the car for work (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the sensor mounting screw.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness block from the sensor and remove it.
Examination
We check the open door sensor for contact closure: when the button is pressed, the circuit should be open, when released, it should be closed.
Installation
Install the open door sensor in reverse order.
