Door Open Switch Malfunction - Rear

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative rear door latch assembly.
  2. Ignition OFF, scan tool OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohms between the ground circuit and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between ground and the door open signal circuit. The test lamp should illuminate.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and ground. Verify the courtesy lamps illuminate.
    • If the courtesy lamps do not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inoperative rear door latch assembly.
