Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: M40 Rear Compartment Lid Latch
  3. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
  4. Verify the scan tool parameter: Rear Closure Ajar Switch = Inactive
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K9 Body Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 4 at Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance » Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance » Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
    • If the specified state 
  5. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 4 & Ground circuit terminal 2
  6. Verify the scan tool parameter: Rear Closure Ajar Switch = Active
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle » Off & Remove » Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K9 Body Control Module
    3. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 4 at Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater » Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
    6. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 4 at Component harness & Terminal 5 X6 at Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater » Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω » Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
    • If the specified state 
  7. Test or replace the component: M40 Rear Compartment Lid Latch
