Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac G5 Pursuit, 2007 Pontiac G5, and 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the Rear Compartment Lid Release Actuator.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the Rear Compartment Lid Release Actuator ground circuit terminal 3 and ground
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- 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 Underhood Fuse Block.
- If the test lamp is always OFF and the circuit fuse is good, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the Underhood Fuse Block.
- If the test lamp is always OFF and the circuit fuse is open, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the Rear Compartment Lid Release Actuator.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Rear Compartment Lid Release Actuator.
