Once I lock the door and the lock disengages. In other words, the door is secured and the dial outside the house spins freely. I do not need to enter a code to get the door to re-engage. I just hit the schlage button and the door engages. How do I fix this so the code is needed to re-engage the mechanism?

Does the motor have a bell housing on it, in other words does it have a cover over the fan? The fan could be striking the cover, loosen the screws on the housing and adjust as needed. Should only be about 3 no more than 4 screws.

door handle latch could be loose, but kind a weird happend on booth doors, souds more like child lock protection: Child Protection Door Lock Location
To use the system, open each rear door, use a flat blade
screwdriver (or valet key) and rotate the dial counter-clockwise to engage the lock and clockwise to disengage
the child protection locks. When the system on a door is
engaged, that door can only be opened by using the
outside door handle even if the inside door lock is in the
unlocked position.

check antenna wire is hanging freely and not tucked up into motor or motor housing.

Be sure the outside knob is unlocked before closing the door.
Schlage locks do not lock the inside knob or lever. After releasing the turn button, also turn the inside lever or knob, then check the outside knob.
What model of lock is this?

My toyota MR2 has this feature, its done by operating the drivers door switch seven times in succession, if the car then agrees it enters a security programming mode where you can change these security settings. Ask your toyota dealer how its done on yours, they can be helpful.

Did you ever get the sliding door handle fixed? I have the exact same problem and would love to know how you fixed it. Please email me at [email protected] thanks!
