Test J: Door Ajar Indicator Inoperative (Chime Okay)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Navigator and 2002 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: After making any repairs, clear DTCs and perform self-test.
  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below center of instrument panel, right of steering column. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Observe GEM PID DRAJAR while toggling active command AJAR LIGHT OFF and ON. If GEM PID DRAJAR displays OFF---, ON---, go to next step. If PID displays OFFO-G, go to next step. If PID displays OFF-B, go to step  4.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect GEM 26-pin harness connector C239. GEM is located on back side of central junction box, under left side of instrument panel. Connect fused jumper wire (5-amp) between GEM harness connector C239 terminal No. 9 (Dark Green/Orange wire) and ground. See Figure. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. If DOOR AJAR indicator does not illuminate, go to next step. If DOOR AJAR indicator illuminates, go to step  6.
  3. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect instrument cluster 22-pin harness connector C237. Measure resistance in Dark Green/Orange wire between instrument cluster harness connector C237 terminal No. 5 and GEM harness connector C239 terminal No. 9. See Figure and Figure . If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to step  7. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Dark Green/Orange wire between instrument cluster and GEM.
  4. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect instrument cluster 22-pin harness connector C237. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Observe GEM PID DRAJAR while toggling active command AJAR LIGHT OFF and ON. If PID displays ON-B-, go to next step. If PID does not display ON-B-, go to step  7.
  5. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect GEM 26-pin harness connector C239. Measure voltage between ground and GEM harness connector C239 terminal No. 9 (Dark Green/Orange wire). See Figure. If any voltage exists, repair short to power in Dark Green/Orange wire between instrument cluster and GEM. If voltage does not exist, go to next step.
  6. Disconnect all GEM harness connectors. Inspect harness connectors for corrosion and pushed out pins. Connect all GEM harness connectors, ensuring they are connected correctly. Operate system and verify if concern is still present. If concern is still present, replace GEM. See GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If concern is not present, system is operating correctly at this time. Clear DTCs and perform self-test.
  7. Disconnect all instrument cluster harness connectors. Inspect harness connectors for corrosion and pushed out pins. Connect all instrument cluster harness connectors, ensuring they are connected correctly. Operate system and verify if concern is still present. If concern is still present, replace instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If concern is not present, system is operating correctly at this time. Clear DTCs and perform self-test.
