01367 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Central Locking Pump Run Time Exceeded (Likely Leak).” This is a VAG (VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda) fault code indicating the central locking vacuum pump ran longer than its allowed time limit without reaching target pressure, which the system interprets as a likely leak in the vacuum-operated locking system. It typically means the doors/trunk may fail to lock or unlock properly because the pump cannot build or hold vacuum. This code is most commonly reported on 1997-2001 Audi A4, with repair costs ranging from $15 to $700.
