APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS
2002 Miata equipped with power door locks, keyless entry, and perimeter alarm system.
DESCRIPTION
Customer complains of inability to lock the doors using the power door lock button (located on driver's door panel) while the engine is running. During this state, the perimeter alarm system causes a different voltage level at the door lock control module resulting in a no-lock condition. To correct this condition, install a revised perimeter alarm control module using the procedure outlined in this bulletin.
