On Honda Accords, the tailgate does not lock electrically, only manually. There is an electrical unlock, but not lock. Your Tourer could be different. The trunk key lock will cause the door locks to electrically lock.

good luck

Is this the 2009-2010 euro tourer?

For the tailgate lid, there is a problem with the latch. It should lock when the tailgate lid is closed. Are you still under a factory warranty?

For your other locking problem, the car has programmable door locking option features. Refer to your owner's manual to see if you can get the door locks working by trying the programming sequences. If not, it may be a problem with the door multiplex control unit.

I understood that... the later Hondas don't have a key lock for the rear tailgate or trunks. They open by a release cable manually from the interior of the car or via a solenoid by remote. When the tailgate is closed, the latch suppose to lock. There is a problem with the latch.
