01367 on Audi
Central Locking Pump Run Time Exceeded (Likely Leak)
01367 on Audi vehicles indicates central locking pump run time exceeded (likely leak). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Audi model — most commonly on A4. 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. Typical repair costs on Audi range from $15 to $700, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of 01367
- •Leak in the central locking vacuum lines or hoses (cracked, disconnected, or aged tubing)
- •Faulty or worn central locking vacuum pump (commonly located in the trunk/luggage area)
- •Leaking door, trunk, or fuel-flap lock actuator element allowing vacuum to bleed off
- •Disconnected or pulled-off vacuum line at a lock actuator
- •Failed seals or check valve within the pump assembly

- Central locking vacuum pump fails: shattered graphite impeller or water-intrusion fried electronics1997-2001
The pneumatic central locking pump/module is located in the right-rear corner of the trunk under the trim. The heart of the system is the central locking pump control module (CLP) located in the trunk. It's in the right rear corner of the A4 & S4. The CLP consists of a graphite rotary-vane pump driven by an electric motor that generates air pressure or vacuum that locks and unlocks the doors, trunk, & fuel door. Two common failure modes: The Audi pneumatic central locking system is plagued by several common problems as it ages. The most common problem is when the internal graphite parts of the air pump wear out and shatter. This is the result of normal use and wear. Many people have observed the locks taking longer and longer to unlock over a period of weeks or months as the pump parts are in their final stages of life. Second mode is electronics failure from water intrusion: failure of the electronics due to water intrusion into the trunk. In extreme cases the electronics failure can cause the CLP to run until it heats up and melts. Water intrusion on the A4 & S4 models is often through a faulty trunk seal or faulty right side tail light seal. A third mode is a slow leak in the plastic tubing (most common at the driver's-door hinge) that causes the pump to over-run; sustained over-run is what eventually shatters the graphite impeller.

What does 01367 mean on Audi?▼
01367 stands for "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. On Audi specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
