CENTRAL LOCKING NOT WORKING

When the central locking is operated via the driver's door using the mechanical key and/or from the inside, via the locking/unlocking buttons, the central locking system does not work.

The door locking/unlocking command reaches the Body Computer Node via the B-CAN. The latter sends the signal received to the door nodes and to the luggage compartment node which controls the locks for the rear doors and the boot lid.
