Hi paz3,

Autolocking works only if all dorrs are closed. If you have any door ajar indicator showing, the system would not work. If manually operaating the door lock knob works, it is not the door lock system at fault.

When overheating occurs, check if the fan is working. It could be the relay, fan motor, fan switch or faulty wirings.
