That post is for a T1N Sprinters. Not sure if it would work on NCV3 Sprinters. This must be an issue on early T1N Interstates. On my NCV3 (2013) Interstate the doors don't lock until you reach a driving speed of about 10 mph. Here are details from my 2012 manual - I see that it also mentions automatic locking with engine switched on. If you have issues with this a Sprinter dealer can also help change it.

Yes T1N.
My local Dodge dealer, Freightliner, Mercedes etc. had no idea. I knew from Docktor A that it could be done via scanner but they couldn't figure that out either. My Dodge place said they even had another one back there that they could see the code but couldn't change it for another customer.

I call my Dodge place and told them how hoping to help the other guy.

The T1Ns are not all built the same, apparently. Ours has no auto-locking at all. Furthermore, it doesn't even have door chimes. A door can be standing wide open and the vehicle in gear and in motion, and it will not alert. I've had it happen that I was on a freeway entrance ramp about to merge when I noticed that the driver's side door wasn't even latched (noticed due to abnormal air flow noise). That kind of scenario would happen if I had the driver's side door open for some reason, but then did my final entry through the sliding door and took the driver's seat without noticing that the driver's door was still unlatched. I've since learned to manually check all doors before putting the rig in gear.
