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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative rear door latch assembly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inoperative rear door latch assembly.
