Car doors locking by themselves

OK, so for the last couple of days my car (04 TL) doors have locked themselves with the keys in the ingntion and the car running?
HeLP!
I have been told its possibly a problem with the anti theft on the car. Its the stock system that came on the car.
Anyone else had this problem?

Ive had this happen a couple of times and eliminated the issue.

Have you ever had the windshield replaced? My windshield was replaced but not sealed properly so water was leaking on my HFL unit, had it re-sealed.

Also check your sunroof drains. Make sure they are not clogged as it will leak right to your fuse box / multiplex box.

Ive narrowed it down to rainy days that makes this happen.

To reset the alarm system on the TL, there is a way to do it by putting your keys in the door, locking and unlocking it. I forgot what the exact sequence was but call Acura and they should be able to get it for you. My car has been good ever since.

When does it exactly lock? When you shift to D?

Randomly is when mine did it, just sitting there. Or sometimes I'd lock it and it would unlock itself.

I have an 04, mine is set to lock when I shift it into D. But when it's really cold and I go to turn the ignition on, before shifting into D, the doors lock by themselves, I've never understood this.
