About Central Locking Motors

The Toyota central locking motor is a 2 wire electrical motor that attaches to the power supply on the vehicle and uses electrical power to operate the central locking to lock or unlock the vehicle. There is one Toyota central locking motor per door on the vehicle, and another to operate the boot. Often when the central locking is used you will hear the motor whirr in to action. This noise will also be accompanied by a clunking noise when locking and unlocking the door.

Failures of the Toyota central locking motor could be caused by dirty brushes inside the motor. It is possible to clean these and see if this solves the problem. However, if the Toyota central locking motor is still out of action, it’s possible that one of the components of the motor has failed. A common cause of motor failure is the microswitch. If the motor fails, you will most likely require a replacement.

Failure to replace the damaged motor will mean that you are unable to lock or unlock its corresponding door or boot. This can obviously cause security issues, so it is recommended to get the motor replaced as soon as possible.

Toyota trivia

• As well as their other records, Toyota is known to consistently break sales records as well. It's not just the Corolla either. They have been so successful some years that they outsold Honda and Nissan combined!
• The company is proud of the fact (and very vocal about it, rightly) that it spends $1million EVERY HOUR on research and development.
• They might be one of the biggest and well-known brand names in the world, but Toyota is still very much a family business. Every CEO so far has been a descendant of the original founder.
• Although Toyota started making its first cars in 1937, these were specifically produced to contribute to Japan's war effort. It wasn't until 1947 that they started producing cars for civilians.
• It's not exactly a secret, but surprisingly few people are aware that Toyota also makes a couple of other brand-name cars. That's because they own or partially own Lexus, Subaru, and Scion.
