Rear Door Ajar

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The rear window switches each provide a 12 V signal to their respective rear door ajar switch signal circuits. The door ajar switches are integral to each rear door latch assembly. When a rear door is opened, the normally open door ajar switch closes. With the door ajar switch closed, ground is provided to the door ajar switch signal circuit and the voltage within the signal circuit drops. The rear window switches will detect the voltage drop and will send a serial data message to the body control module which will then send a message to the instrument panel cluster to command the door ajar message.
