Range Rover Evoque Door Lock Problems
Are you having Range Rover Evoque door lock problems? This is a common issue with most Evoques and Range Rovers in general, we hope the video or the information below can help.
- Door interior lock/unlock button
- Door interior release handle
- Door lock exterior release cable
- Emergency mechanical door lock (front LH door only)
- Exterior door handle lock cover
- Exterior door handle
- Door latch
- Electrical connection to door control module
- Door lock interior release cable
The door latches are installed at the rear edge of each door and engage with corresponding strikers mounted to the ‘B’ and ‘C’ pillars. Each interior and exterior door handle is connected with a release cable to the corresponding door latch. In the front LH door a third release cable is connected between the door latch and the concealed emergency mechanical door lock.
Each door latch is a sealed unit that comprises the following:
- Lock motor
- Double lock motor (all except North American Specification , Japan and Gulf vehicles)
- Door ajar switch.
An electrical connector is incorporated in each door latch and provides the interface with the door control module and CJB. The front door control modules are connected to the CJB on the medium speed CAN bus; the rear door control modules are connected via the LIN bus to the front door control modules. The lock and double lock motors control the engagement of the door latches with the release cables to lock and unlock the vehicle. When the vehicle is locked, the lock motors disengage the door latches from the exterior release cables.
When the vehicle is double locked, the double lock motors also disengage the door latches from the interior release cables. When the vehicle is subsequently unlocked, the interior and exterior release cables are re-engaged with the door latches. All the door interior release handles incorporate a locking button. When a front door central locking button is pressed, all the vehicle doors will centrally lock/unlock. When a rear door locking button is pressed, the locking button will only lock/unlock the activated rear door.
When the door locking button is pressed, the interior release cable is pushed and causes the exterior release cable to be disengaged from the door latch. On the rear doors, pressing the locking button will also disengage the interior handle from the interior release cable. When the door locking button is pulled away from the door, the door interior release handle is re-engaged with the interior release cable. As the interior release cable is re-engaged it is pulled, causing the door latch to re-engage with the exterior release cable.
Rear Door Child Locks
The rear door latches incorporate child locks that provide additional rear occupancy safety. The child locks are manually operated using the emergency key blade within the remote handset. Setting the child lock to the locked position will disengage the door latch interior release cable from the door latch, and prevent opening of the rear door using the interior release handle.
