AutoMetrics in Yakima performs repairs and diagnosis on power door locks and the computer systems that run them, including keyless entry systems and the wireless transmitters themselves.
A complicated system
Pictured is an old style lock actuator circuit. Power door locks are much more complicated now, but the basic principle is the same – a solenoid simply punches the lock mechanism up or down. On modern cars the added complexity involves the computer activating a relay that will actually activate your door lock. Your computer is what gives the security system in your car the information that the door is actually locked. This seems like it makes things overly complicated, but it actually adds a lot of convenience for the driver. Things like locking your car if you forget, unlocking via a web service, locking when the car is motion, none of this would be possible if the computer did not have integration.
