1. With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
2. For future reference, with the scan tool, run and save a vehicle Scan Report and all related recorded data.
3. With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
4. Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 10.0 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition on.
6. Using the When Monitored and Set Conditions above and recorded data, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Did the DTC return?

Yes 

• Go To  3

No 

• Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .

1. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) harness connectors must be connected to the ECU during this test step.
2. With the ignition in the off position, disconnect the sensor harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the scan tool display the B25C8-DRIVER DOOR AJAR SWITCH 2 CIRCUIT HIGH with the connector disconnected?

Yes 

• Replace the Door Latch in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to LATCH, DOOR, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
• Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

No 

• Go To  4

1. The ignition must be off when checking a circuit for continuity to ground.
2. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and every component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note:  Use the appropriate wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
3. Connect the negative lead of the DVOM to a known good ground.
4. With the positive lead of the DVOM, probe the circuit being tested at the component harness connector and check for continuity between the circuit and ground.

Is there continuity between ground and the circuit being tested?

Yes 

• Repair the circuit for a short to ground. Use the appropriate wiring diagram as a guide to trace the circuit and look for any in-line connectors to help isolate the location of the short.
• Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

No 

• Go To  5

1. The ignition must be off when checking for a short between circuits.
2. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and every component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note:  Use the appropriate wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
3. Connect the test leads of the DVOM and check for continuity between the circuits being tested at the component harness connector.

Is there continuity between the circuits?

Yes 

• Repair the short between the circuits.
• Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

No 

• Go To  6

1. Disconnect all BCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
   • Proper connector installation.
   • Damaged connector locks.
   • Corrosion.
   • Other signs of water intrusion.
   • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
   • Bent terminals.
   • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
   • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
   • Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.

   Repair any conditions that are found.

5. Reconnect all BCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
9. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
10. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

    Did the DTC return?

    Yes 

    • Replace and program the Body Control Module (BCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL (BCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
    • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    • The wiring or poor connection problem has been repaired.
    • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
