Anti-repeat circuits
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the central locking system switches from the state 'UNLOCKED' to 'LOCKED' 20 times within 2 minutes, no unlocking is possible for approx. 2 minutes. If the anti-repeat circuit is active, the door on the E65 can still be opened, as the electrical opening motor is still activated and this raises the locking pawl. A state can come about, however, whereby the door is open but the locking button is set at LOCKED.
This electrical auxiliary motor reaches the anti-repeat circuit after being activated 50 times. This occurs if the door is opened repeatedly when the vehicle is unlocked.
