How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before servicing the door.
- Check door operation: Confirm the door closes firmly and latches securely. Adjust the strike if needed.
- Test door switch: Access the latch/switch assembly and test continuity while opening and closing the latch. Replace if readings are inconsistent.
- Inspect harness: Look for pinched or broken wires where they pass through the door hinge area.
- Control input: If switch and wiring are good, the control board may not be reading the signal correctly and may need replacement.
After repairs, clear the code by disconnecting power for several minutes.
