  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the rear compartment lid latch
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground. If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 4 and the ground circuit terminal 3
  4. Command the trunk release ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states. If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT . If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT .
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear compartment lid latch
