Test Q: Hatch Ajar Indicator Always On: Testing
- If diagnostic system check has been performed, go to next step. If diagnostic system check has not been performed, perform BODY REAR END DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Close hatch. If hatch ajar indicator illuminates, go to next step. If hatch ajar indicator does not illuminate, inspect for intermittents and poor connections. See TROUBLE SHOOTING .
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect Body Control Module (BCM) 32-pin harness connector C3. BCM is located below right side of instrument panel, near blower motor. See Figure. If hatch ajar indicator illuminates, go to next step. If hatch ajar indicator does not illuminate, go to step 6.
- Disconnect rear compartment lid ajar indicator switch. Rear compartment lid ajar indicator switch is located near rear compartment lid release actuator. If hatch ajar indicator illuminates, go to next step. If hatch ajar indicator does not illuminate, go to step 7.
- Inspect Orange/Black wire for an open or short to ground between ground and BCM harness connector C3 terminal D13. If an open or short to ground is not found, go to step 8. If an open or short to ground is found, repair as necessary then go to step 11.
- Inspect BCM harness connector C3 for poor connections. If poor connections are not found, go to step 10. If poor connections are found, repair as necessary then go to step 11.
- Inspect rear compartment lid ajar indicator switch for poor connections. If poor connections are not found, go to step 9. If poor connections are found, repair as necessary then go to step 11.
- Replace Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). Program IPC. See INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER under PROGRAMMING. After replacement, go to step 11.
- Replace rear compartment lid ajar switch, then go to step 11.
- Replace BCM. Program BCM. See BODY CONTROL MODULE under PROGRAMMING. After replacement, go to next step.
- Operate system to verify repair. If condition has been corrected, system is operating correctly at this time. If condition has not been corrected, repeat test procedure beginning at step 3.
