INSPECTION PROCEDURE E-3: Keyless Entry System: Trunk lid opener function does not work.: Diagnosis

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Required Special Tools: 

  1. STEP 1. Check the keyless entry system operation (door lock and unlock operation). 

    Q: Does the keyless entry system door lock and unlock operation work normally? 

    YES  : Go to Step 2 < when using scan tool MB991502 > or Step 3 < when using a voltmeter >.

    NO:  Solve the problem first. Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE E-1 "KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE  ."

  2. STEP 2. Check the input signal (by using scan tool MB991502). 

    Check the input signals from the following switches:

    • Trunk lid latch switch
    • transmitter switches
    CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
    1. Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
    2. Check that the tone alarm of scan tool MB991502 sounds when the input signal enters.

    Q: Does the tone alarm of scan tool MB991502 sound when the input signal enters? 

    YES  : Go to  Step 4.

    NO  :

  3. STEP 3. Check the input signal (by using a voltmeter). 

    Check the input signals from the following switches:

    • Trunk lid latch switch
    • transmitter switches
    1. Use special tool MB991529 to connect a voltmeter between ground terminal 4 or 5 and ETACS-ECU terminal 9 of the data link connector.
    2. Check that the voltmeter indicator deflects once when the input signal enters.

    Q: Does the voltmeter indicator deflect? 

    YES  : Go to Step 4.

    NO  :

  4. STEP 4. Check the trunk lid opener actuator assembly operation. 
    1. Remove the trunk lid opener actuator assembly. Refer to TRUNK LID .
    2. Check that the trunk lid opener actuator assembly lever function.
      BATTERY CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      BATTERY CONNECTION LATCH OPERATION
      • Connect terminal 1 to the positive battery terminal
      • Connect terminal 2 to the negative battery terminal
      The latch moves from the "OPEN" position to the "SHUT" position.

    Q: Is the trunk lid opener actuator assembly in good condition? 

    YES  : Go to Step 5.

    NO:  Replace the trunk lid latch assembly. Refer to TRUNK LID . Verify that the trunk lid opener actuator assembly works normally.

    2. Measure the resistance value between terminal 2 and ground.
      • The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

    Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less? 

    YES  : Go to  Step 8.

    NO:  Go to Step 6.

  6. STEP 6. Check trunk lid opener actuator assembly connector F-04 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 

    Q: Is trunk lid opener actuator assembly connector F-04 in good condition? 

    YES  : Go to Step 7.

    NO:  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to , HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . Verify that the trunk lid opener works normally.

  7. STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between trunk lid opener actuator connector F-04 (terminal 2) and ground. 

    Q: Is the wiring harness between trunk lid opener actuator connector F-04 (terminal 2) and ground in good condition? 

    YES  : No action is necessary and testing is complete.

    NO:  The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that the trunk lid opener works normally.

  8. STEP 8. Check trunk lid opener actuator assembly connector F-04 and ETACS-ECU connector C-317 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 

    Q: Are trunk lid opener actuator connector F-04 and ETACS-ECU connector C-317 in good condition? 

    YES  : Go to Step 9.

    NO:  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to , HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . Verify that the trunk lid opener works normally.
