Circuit/System Testing

    NOTE:

    It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: A23C Liftgate Latch Assembly
  3. Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Low Reference terminal 6 & Ground
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Disconnect the electrical connector: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Low Reference terminal 6 @ Component harness & Terminal 16 X1 @ Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms 
  4. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  5. Verify the scan tool parameter: Body Control Module: Rear Closure Ajar Switch = Inactive
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  6. Verify the scan tool parameter: Liftgate Control Module: Liftgate Latch Ratchet Switch = Closed
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 5 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  7. Verify the scan tool parameter: Liftgate Control Module: Liftgate Latch Pawl Switch = Closed
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  8. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3 & Low Reference terminal 6
  9. Verify the scan tool parameter: Body Control Module: Rear Closure Ajar Switch = Active
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire (s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Terminal 9 X1 @ Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  10. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 1 & Low Reference terminal 6
  11. Verify the scan tool parameter: Liftgate Control Module: Liftgate Latch Pawl Switch = open
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire (s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Terminal 6 X1 @ Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  12. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 5 & Low Reference terminal 6
  13. Verify the scan tool parameter: Liftgate Control Module: Liftgate Latch Ratchet Switch = open
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire (s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K39 Liftgate Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
