Defect
On large transit buses equipped with an automatic transmission, the electrical circuit controlling the center door is incorrectly designed. The center door may open while the vehicle is in motion when all of the following conditions are met: (a) during boarding or alighting, the driver places the center door switch in the open position, and the door's photoelectric sensor is then interrupted by a person or object — preventing the door from opening; and (b) following condition (a), the driver continues driving with the center door switch still in the open position, and the photoelectric sensor interruption is subsequently cleared while the vehicle is moving.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, modify the electrical circuit so that the center door cannot open while the vehicle is in motion.
