Defect
On large transit buses, the ECU program controlling the rear sliding door operation is incorrect. If the driver initiates a close command and then issues an open command immediately before the door fully closes, the door warning lamp (amber) illuminates. On vehicles equipped with a dual solenoid valve, the door remains open and the driver subsequently loses the ability to operate the door from the driver's seat. Additionally, the neutral shift lock function — which prevents the vehicle from departing with a door open — stops working. If the vehicle departs in this condition, the warning buzzer sounds and the door warning lamp (red) illuminates.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the ECU with the corrected part.
