Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac G5 and 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the rear compartment lid release actuator.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Trunk Ajar Switch parameter is Trunk Closed.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the ground circuit terminal 3. Verify the scan tool Trunk Ajar Switch parameter is Trunk Ajar.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear compartment lid release actuator.
