Childproof door locks are an invaluable safeguard for parents with kids of all ages. Activating them is also easy. Here’s all you need to do:
Open the back door.
Locate the lever on the inside edge of the door (close to the door latch itself).
Move the switch down to set the childproof door lock (or up to deactivate it).
Repeat this step for the other door.
Tip
Activating the childproof door locks means that the rear doors will not open from the inside at all, no matter what position the door lock is in.

Honda Accord: Why Won't My Rear Door Open?
Rear door lock problems can signal a number of issues; however, not all require the help of a professional mechanic.
By Charlie Gaston - March 10, 2015
This article applies to the Honda Accord (1990-2002).
If the rear door in your Honda Accord no longer opens and closes properly, there are a number of fixes available. For electrical problems as well as panel and/or lock assembly damage, you'll want to visit a local Honda dealer for top service. This easy-to-read guide will walk you through the steps you'll need to diagnose a faulty rear door and prepare you for the cost ahead.
Materials Needed
- Owner's manual
- Repair tools including Phillips screwdriver
Step 1 – Check the child lock
It should only prevent the door from opening from the inside.
Designed to prevent rear passengers from opening the rear doors while the vehicle is in motion or stationary, a child lock can prevent accidents and eliminate unauthorized exits from the vehicle without the driver's consent. It's not necessary to visit the dealer to disengage the child lock. Simply open the driver's side door and disengage the small switch on the edge of the door.
- The child lock will only prevent the door from opening from the inside, not the outside. Therefore, if the rear door will not open from either side, the problem is not the child lock. Continue to Step 2.
Step 2 – Inspect the panel
The rod could be bent or disconnected.
This type of repair involves many moving parts and could be too complex for the average do-it-yourselfer. You might want to visit a Honda dealer or a local mechanic for help. If you wish to proceed without the assistance of an automotive professional, here are the general steps for removing the door panel on your own:
- Remove the rear door trim panel. The panel is secured via clips and will require a trim removal to pull the panel back without breaking the clips.
- Look for the connecting rod, which is located between the handle assembly and the lock assembly.
- If rod is bent or disconnected from either the handle or lock assembly, you've discovered the problem.
- Have the rod clip replaced.
If the problem persists, proceed to Step 3.
Figure 2. Blow-up diagram of the rear door panel.Step 3 – Check the latch
It might be loose or faulty due to metal that is broken.
As seen in the diagram above, the door-locking mechanism is comprised of many pieces.
If the latch is damaged or worn, it may not allow for the rest of the system to operate properly. The usual fix in this regard is to either replace the latch or entire assembly, or disassemble, clean, and reassemble the latch to ensure everything is connected correctly.
- If you decide to carry out this repair on your own, remove the rear door panel, detach the lock mechanism and all its working parts, including screws and bolts, and unseat the latch with a Phillips screwdriver.
- Be careful not to drop or lose any broken or loose metal pieces, which, in some cases, may be welded back together to repair the latch.
- Estimated DIY cost is $35 to $75, depending on the extent of the damage to the latch.
If the latch is functioning properly, proceed to the final step.
Figure 3. Door latch.Step 4 – Test the power locks
The power locks may have stopped working, leaving your rear door inoperable.
The problem could be the result of a broken part or larger electrical problem.
- Visit a local Honda dealer to have your vehicle's electrical system checked for a bad switch or burnt-out motor.
- The cost to repair a power lock door ranges from $50 to $200 at a local shop and $200 to $600 at a local Honda dealer.
- Broken actuator parts could be replaced for as little as $10 to $75 at an auto parts store.
- If the problem is a bad switch or burnt-out motor, expect repair costs to soar as high as $600 or more.

Avoid excessive heat keys, do not leave them for a long time under direct sunlight; try not to drop the keys or put heavy objects on them; avoid exposure to moisture, wet kit, gently wipe dry with a soft cloth. There are no replaceable batteries for the microchip, - Do not under any circumstances attempt to disassemble key head! |
Engine immobilization device
The standard anti-theft system of some models may include engine immobilization device (easier - immobilizer).
The device serves to prevent unauthorized attempts to start the engine and is effective anti-theft agent, protecting the car from thieves.
The engine of a vehicle equipped with an immobilizer can only be started using a microchip-equipped ignition key.

Attempting to start the engine with any other key or a master key will disable the engine start circuit.
When the ignition is turned on (the ignition key is turned to the "ON" [II] position) the control lamp of the immobilization system lights up for a few seconds, then goes out. The blinking of the indicator indicates that the system has not identified the code key. In this case, you must turn off the ignition (the key is in the "LOCK" position [0]) and remove the key from the lock, then try again.
| There is a possibility that the system will not recognize the key code located in the ignition switch if any other key with an integrated microchip. |
For reliable identification of the code, we advise you to keep each key in a separate link. If the system repeatedly refuses to identify the key code, contact Honda service station.
The immobilizer control lamp flashes also when the key is turned to ignition switch from the "ON" (II) position (ignition on) to the ACC (I) (parking) or LOCK (0) (steering column lock).

II ON (ignition)
III START (start)
Position "LOCK" (O) - blocking
The key can be inserted into the lock or removed from it only in this position. When the ignition key is turned from the "LOCK" (0) position to the "ACC" position (I) the steering column is unlocked.

In this position of the ignition key, it is possible to operate auxiliary consumers of electricity (audio system, cigarette lighter, fan heater, windshield wipers, etc.).
Position "ON" (II) - ignition on
In this position, the ignition key is permanently in motion, as well as when the engine is idling.
At the same time provided electrical supply of all systems and an additional one installed on the vehicle equipment. When turning the key from the "ACC" (I) position to the "ON" (II) briefly turn on some of those located on the instrument dashboard of the car control lamps, confirming the proper functioning of the corresponding control systems.
On some models, when the key is turned to the "ON" (II) position, automatic switching on of the headlights (running lights during daylight hours).
"START" position (III) - start
Turning the key to this position engages the starter. After implementation to start the engine, the key must be released and it will automatically return to the "ON" (II).
