2011 Fit Locks wont unlock after parked
Hi Guys and Gals.
I recently bought a 2011 fit sport. My parents GD3 and my sisters 2008 Civic unlocks after the car is put into park. The only one that unlocks after I put it into park is the Driver Side. Is something wrong with my locks or is there something I can press or do to make it function like my Parents Fit . Thanks -bee |
I have a '10 fit sport and I had the same "problem". I think it's a safety precaution, but I found the solution in my driver's manual.
For me, I had to close all my doors, put the key in the ignition and turn it to the "II" mark, leave it at that mark, and then hold down the unlock all doors button for 10 seconds. After 5 seconds, I heard a noise in all the doors and then at 10 seconds I heard another. I don't know if it's the same for your car, but my guess is that it is. And if it's not, check your driver's manual! EDIT: I just found the link to what I was telling you: http://members.cox.net/blackbeard200...ks_job_aid.pdf Good luck! |

Outstanding. been hunting this for a year. Not in my shop manual or driver manual. cheers. |
um, page 83/85 of the owner's manual (2009)
Your vehicle has customizable settings for the doors and tailgate to automatically lock and unlock. There are default settings for each of these features. You can turn off or change the settings for these features as described on the following pages. Auto Door Locking The auto door locking feature has three possible settings: ● The auto door locking is deactivated all the time. ● All doors and tailgate lock whenever you move the shift lever out of the Park (P) position (A/T vehicles). ● All doors and tailgate lock when the vehicle speed reaches 9 mph (15 km/h). This is the default setting. The auto door unlocking feature has five possible settings: ● The auto door unlocking is deactivated all the time. ● On A/T vehicles, the driver's door unlocks when you move the shift lever to the Park (P) position. This is the default setting. ● All doors and tailgate unlock when you move the shift lever to the Park (P) position (A/T vehicles). ● The driver's door unlocks whenever you turn the ignition switch to the ACCESSORY (I) position. This is the default setting on M/T vehicles. ● All doors and tailgate unlock whenever you turn the ignition switch to the ACCESSORY (I) position. For complete details on how to change the default, see your owner's manual. |

And to belabor the point, there's this 14 page thread on the subject: Unlock my doors, please! For complete details on how to change the default, see your owner's manual. How about 2008? |
A GD? I have no idea. I think I remember someone saying they were not programmable.
|
Woot got it to work! Pulling out the key after doing the instructions did it for me.
thanks! |
Talk about dumb defaults - Honda really messed up with the auto lock/unlock choices. Most anyone would want ALL doors to unlock, might as well program it the way most people would want it to work.

what is the big deal about one default setting of a door? Just as you would complain about it being defaulted to only driver's door... other's would complain if it were defaulted to ALL doors. oh some thing like "I'm the only one ever in my car. it's wearing out the other locks prematurely." And as of the GE, they PROVIDE the user a way of changing it to THEIR own liking. If you CAN'T do it... then ASK someone to help! |

The Fit is the first time I've seen a car do driver's door only. :confused: Must have been a reason why its been all doors all these years. If one's worried about wearing out locks, they might as well not drive the car, the engine's gonna get worn out too. :rolleyes: |

How many cars have you owned? Not see, but owned, unless you've own a car you probably wouldn't know how the doors are programmed. Engine wearing out? If you can find a way for the Fit to drive without using the engine then I say yes, why not, think of all the gas you would save. Gotta love your logic! Flea |

Plus if you bothered reading, you'd realize this is one of the most asked questions and annoying defaults that people seem to struggle with. I think Honda has the default setting chosen wrongly in this case, as the majority of people will want it to work on all doors, not just the driver's door. |
It doesn't take a genius to read the instructions in the owner's manual either.
As far as reading goes, I read quite a bit, why do you think I made the statement above. Flea |
This isn't even an owners manual thing; it's covered in the quick flip intro to the car manual.

It was the first thing the sales guy showed me after the sale... that and how to find local radio stations. I set up the door lock thing right then and there.

To compound matters, all the manual tells you is how to turn off/on the auto door lock/unlock feature. It wasn't until someone had found some inside info here on FF that us early GE8 owners could program this right. Look at the early discussions in this topic, people were confusing auto door lock/unlock for driver's door/all door's which was MISSING from our manuals!!! https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...rs-please.html |

Honda has been teaching them better, there was a lot of delivery issues with customization features not being clear. This was most certainly not in place when I picked up my GE8 back in the early days of the GE8.
