The #10 I suspect is there because I disconnected the battery.

Leading evidence: 'Disconnect battery' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'mechanical problem in the door lock itself' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check clu' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
Some of the codes may be a separate issue, but 61 & 47 is a CLU problem indicating the lock has not reached its full locked position, which is probably a mechanical problem in the door lock itself.

I did check the CLU under the drivers seat for moisture damage and corrosion and it looks brand new.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have been having an on going issue with my central locking system. My passenger door doesn't seem to synchronize with my fuel door and drivers side door. All my door handle micro switches operate as they should. This would point to the passenger side door lock, but when you exit the car from the passenger side it doesn't trigger the alarm fault with 2 chirps from the alarm horn. When you exit the drivers side of the car the alarm does chirp twice indicating a fault.
The durametric codes read
code 47 central locking synchronization
present
frequency: 127
code 46 central locking synchronization
present
frequency:1
Do either of these codes point to drivers side or passengers side?
I did check the CLU under the drivers seat for moisture damage and corrosion and it looks brand new.
Looking for a place to start. Replace both locks?
My car is a 97 with the optional m535 alarm
Did you ever solve this problem? I'm getting the same error code 47, plus 61 and 10. My alarm chirps twice randomly, and the dash switch light comes on and stays on now and then. I suspect one of the door lock mechanisms, but which one? Need help!
That's exactly what I did, he used a PST2 and it revealed the codes #10, #61, and #47, but I really don't know anything more than that. I'm online trying to find out what these codes indicate specifically. The #10 I suspect is there because I disconnected the battery. Any advice? Thanks
Some of the codes may be a separate issue, but 61 & 47 is a CLU problem indicating the lock has not reached its full locked position, which is probably a mechanical problem in the door lock itself. If he had scanned the alarm unit itself, it would have listed the locations of the last ten alarm faults, telling you which door was triggering the alarm.
Ah, that makes some sense. I'll mention it to him and re-do the scan. Would that isolate it from the trunks and glove box as well? Would you therefore infer that it would be the latch mechanism? Thank you so much!
It looks like a lock mechanism problem, but you need to isolate which one. The alarm module sees each locking point as a separate item. Check out what I posted to you on RennTech, I listed all the diagnostic steps.
JFP,
Any chance you could post these diagnostics steps to this thread? I would like to see where my '04 Box S is giving me fits. I have central locking code 60: Central Locking limit position Lock not reached.
