  1.  @paulsz6194  Yeah, spare parts is a money well for the manufacturer. However, you would think that they would put diagnostics into the module to make it easily figure out which part to replace. Given that the module reports no errors without the wire connected, you can be pretty sure that they assumed that part to never fail.

  2.  @VeteranofthePsychicWars  If the design of the module is to trigger interrupt high while the door handle sends the signal (with the intent that the signal is a short pull to ground) the CPU inside the module might be stalled until the interrupt pin is released from the ground. In that case it would be a hardware design issue which causes the module CPU to halt until the ground is released and it cannot be fixed by software patch.

  3. 14:25 This module is ridiculous! Fails to work with bad door handle and when the whole wire is disconnected (or broken) it still reports "no faults".

  4. Wow! Are you real that the car was at the dealership and their fix was to disconnect the module? And NOT TELL THE CUSTOMER???

  5. I would consider it pretty bad design problem when an input wire getting shorted disables the whole module. Then again, some of those "keyless" entry systems are known to open the door locks on high power radio interference burst - a trick used by thiefs to open those locks. So the poor design in general is widely known already.

  6. I guess that would be acceptable behavior if all the modules are still accessible and there's a proper fault for the problem. If they need active engine mount, they probably need that thing. I assume there would be a bumb in the hood if the mount does not work correctly...
