Rear Compartment Lid Release Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the underhood fuse block.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal B10 and B+.
  3. Ignition ON, 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 ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the underhood fuse block and disconnect the harness connector at the rear compartment lid release actuator.
  5. 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.
  6. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 4 and ground.
  7. Ignition ON, 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.
  8. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear compartment lid release actuator.
