Door motor mechanism failure (F90 to F94): latch motor problem preventing proper door lock/unlock operation.
First step from the service manual
1
Press CLEAR key. If that does not eliminate the problem, turn off power for 30 seconds then turn on power. Check wiring of Lock Motor, Lock Switch, and Door Switch circuits.
The complete diagnostic procedure includes additional test steps, resistance specifications, wiring diagram references, and component test points.

Door motor mechanism failure (F90 to F94)
From Tech Sheet W16599791, p.43:
1.Press CLEAR key. If that does not eliminate the problem, turn off power for 30 seconds then turn on power. Check wiring of Lock Motor, Lock Switch, and Door Switch circuits.
2.Measure door lock assembly resistance across the PTC terminals. Expected: ~200 ohms cold, rising sharply once energized.
3.Inspect strike and latch alignment. A warped door or misaligned strike prevents the switch stack from closing in the correct sequence.
