Speed Sensative Locks

[novagard]

I have a 2001 SE sedan. Does anybody know how to disable the speed sensative locks? I hate these things. Thanks in advance.

The Dealer can do this on most models with the diagnostic computer. They will charge you of course.

Autolock (if equipped)
No need to go to the dealer. The procedure to diable the Autolocks is on page 75 of your owner's manual. I have copied below:

The autolock feature will lock all of the vehicle doors when:
² all doors are closed
² the engine is running and
² you shift into any gear putting the vehicle in motion

The autolock feature repeats when:
² any door, except the drivers door, is opened then closed while the
engine is running and
² you put the vehicle in motion

Deactivating/activating autolock
There are 2 methods to enable/disable this feature. One through your
dealer and the second with a door lock sequence using the following
instructions:
1. Turn the ignition key to RUN, then press the door UNLOCK control
button 3 times.
2. Turn the ignition key to OFF, then press the door UNLOCK control
button 3 times.
3. Turn the ignition key to RUN, within five seconds press the door
UNLOCK control button 1 time.

The user should receive a horn chirp to indicate the system has been
altered.
Pressing the power door UNLOCK control button again will toggle the
Autolock/Relock states.
² Turn ignition to OFF to exit.
