Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate liftgate or liftglass ajar switch.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Liftgate Ajar Switch parameter or the Liftglass Ajar Switch parameter is Closed.
- If not Closed, test the appropriate signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the liftgate module.
- Ignition ON, check to see that the rear access open message or the gate ajar indicator is not displayed.
- If the message is displayed in the DIC or the indicator is illuminated, replace the IPC.
- Ignition ON, install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the appropriate signal circuit and ground. Verify the scan tool Liftgate Ajar Switch parameter or the Liftglass Ajar Switch parameter is Ajar.
- If not Ajar, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the liftgate module.
- Ignition ON, check to see that the rear access open message is displayed or the gate ajar indicator is illuminated.
- If the message is not displayed in the DIC or the indicator is not illuminated, replace the IPC.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the liftgate ajar switch or the liftglass ajar switch.
