Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Ajar Indicator is always On
- Disconnect the midgate control module connector.
- Ignition ON, verify that the REAR ACCESS OPEN message is not displayed.
- If the message is displayed test the midgate ajar indicator signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal replace the body control module.
- Connect the midgate control module connector.
- Disconnect the right side midgate latch.
- Ignition ON, verify that the REAR ACCESS OPEN message is not displayed.
- If the message is displayed test the midgate ajar switch signal circuit for a short to ground.
- If all the circuits test normal replace the midgate control module.
Ajar Indicator is Inoperative
- Disconnect the midgate control module connector.
- Connect a fused jumper wire form the midgate ajar indicator signal circuit to ground.
- Ignition ON, verify that the REAR ACCESS OPEN message is displayed.
- If the message is not displayed test the midgate ajar indicator signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the body control module.
- Disconnect the left side midgate latch.
- Connect a test lamp from battery voltage to the midgate ajar switch ground circuit.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect the left side midgate latch.
- Disconnect the right side midgate latch.
- With the midgate open connect a test lamp from battery voltage to the midgate ajar switch signal circuit 6252.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate test the midgate ajar switch signal circuit 6252 for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the left side midgate latch.
- Connect the right side midgate latch.
- With the midgate open connect a test lamp from battery voltage to the midgate ajar switch signal circuit 5459 in the control module connector.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate test the midgate ajar switch signal circuit 5459 for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the right side midgate latch.
- If all the circuits test normal replace the midgate control module.
