B0532Left Rear Door Lock Actuator Circuit
- Generic OBD-II code · Body
- How the car detects it
- Public J2012 lists do not include B0532. At GM it exists only as an undefined keyword in PIP5094, the general circuit-testing bulletin for GM cars and light trucks up to model year 2014. Its title refers to the lock motor in the left rear door. Rear doors carry an extra duty here: FMVSS 206 requires each rear side door to have a lock that, when engaged, also blocks the inside handle. The Saab 9-3 places this motor under the left rear door module and logs B3135 02 when the module input reads a short to ground during locking; after the fault clears the motor tries again. A failed rear actuator usually leaves that one door out of step with the rest of the car. Right rear: B0533.
