hey hope some one can help. got a 57 plate toyota hiace van lwb 3.oo d4d model. symtoms.. press button on key fob. all doors lock, after a few minutes they un lock themselves. tried too manually lock doors still unlock after time. As its a newish vehicle and is out of warranty would like too have a go before i book it nto a garage. any help woulb be kind.
 
I have no experience with this particular model but I feel it is a good bet that you have a sticky/on its way out microswitch in the door. Either the door lock microswitch or something in the door lock actuator ( the thing that moves the door button up and down) The actuator may have two microswitches in it to limit up/down movement of the pull rod to the door lock button. Some can be disassembled and new microswitches soldered in. Its an easy job to test the microswitch with a simple continuity tester. Jiggle the microswitch button to be sure it makes and breaks every time. Hope this makes sense.
