Hi all newbie here. 2008 Accord..the door locks are activating once the speed drops below 10 mph. Really strange. They unlock and relock.

Any suggestions? I put a new battery in about 8 months ago so doubt it is low voltage.

 

Is the lock/unlock behavior programmable? Check that in your owners manual, and/or maybe the programming is a dealer thing.

 

the door locks are programmable, look in the owners manual starting on page 80 and it will go through the options and defaults. if you don't have the manual you can probably google the procedure or even youtube it.

 

I believe the manual states that there's an automatic lock that is programmable. You can have it in one of three settings. I know one is no automatic lock, another is automatic lock at 9mph and I think the last one is it unlocks when you put it in park and I think it might lock when you put it into drive.

But you said it locks then unlocks while driving? That one sounds a little weird. Locking maybe, but unlocking while driving? I don't think that's normal.

Changing the battery would probably clear the ECU and reset the programmed choice which might have been when the "problem" started, did it start around that time? Then it might be the programmable door locks. Just your description kind of sounds different than how I understand it.

 

Thanks a bunch guys Ill go thru the manual and check the options. Unfortunately this problem just started. Battery was changed about a year ago and I havn;t unhooked it since. Again thanks a bunch!!!!

 

Agree, the behavior isn't one of the choices that's supposed to be programmable. But the first thing I'd do is try to change that programming, cycle through the possibilities before programming it the way you want.

The newer Accords (2003+) use non-volatile memory (at least for CEL error codes) so disconnecting the battery might not clear what's going on.
