door wont auto open
 

correct me of i posted on wrong thread, so my car passenger(coupe) side door wont auto open no more, someone told me its the aculator thats broken? im too cheap to bring it to the stealership, can someone suggest a place for me to take my car to have it checked out for a reasonable price? please and thx u

1. What car and year?
2. By auto open, do you mean the power door lock doesn't work?
3. The parts is called an "actuator" and it may or may not be the problem

car is 2002 civic sir hatchback, the powerlock for passenger isnt working.where do u suggest i take it to have it looked at?

For 2002 you can probably get it scanned and the CAN bus should be able to tell you which part ie can be the actuator or the controller that is at fault.

CAN bus isnt in the door lock loop (not the motors anyhow)

from someone with 19 years stealership experience, i say the lock actuators are a common problem. Unplug the connector from the actuator, stick a test light across the connector you just unplugged (car's harness side) and flip the locks to lock and unlock. If the light flickers then you just confirmed the power and ground to the actuator is good.
There you go, free advice from the stealership. Enjoy it while you can

^lol thx

Yes, it is not.. hence a generic OBD2 scanner wont' work.

CAN bus is a generic interface, where car manufacturers use it for a lot of different things from ECU, transmission to low speed peripheral communications eg connecting comfort electronics. However since is not defined/ required by OBD2 standard, most generic scanners won't not diagnose / read the error codes.

eg if you scan say a e46 with a BMW tool, you can see which actuator is working, voltages, mA etc.
