- Ensure liftgate is aligned properly. Align or adjust liftgate as necessary. If liftgate is aligned properly, disconnect liftgate ajar switch connector. Check condition of connector, and clean or repair connector as necessary. If connector is okay, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, read gate ajar switch status. If scan tool displays GATE AJAR OPEN, replace liftgate ajar switch. If scan tool does not display GATE AJAR OPEN, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect Body Control Module (BCM) Natural connector. BCM is located behind left side knee panel. Check condition of connector, and clean or repair connector as necessary. If connector is okay, go to next step.
- Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of BCM Natural connector terminal No. 2 (Tan/Black wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace BCM. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Tan/Black wire.
