Circuit/System Testing
Midgate Ajar Switch Circuit Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the midgate module.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool rear closure ajar switch parameter is inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 12 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminals 12 and ground. Verify the scan tool rear closure ajar switch parameter is active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the midgate module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the right midgate latch.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the left midgate latch.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool rear closure ajar switch parameter is active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the midgate control module.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and ground. Verify the scan tool rear closure ajar switch parameter is inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the midgate control module.
- Connect the harness connector at the left midgate latch.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A at the right midgate latch and ground. Verify the scan tool rear closure ajar switch parameter is inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the left midgate latch.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the right midgate latch.
