Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the suspect door latch assembly.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the low reference or ground circuit of the door ajar switch and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, close all doors and verify the scan tool Door Ajar Switch parameter for the suspect door is Door Closed or Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the suspect door ajar switch signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace either the driver door module (DDM) or the passenger door module (PDM) or the body control module (BCM)- for the rear doors only.
- Install a 3A fused jumper between the suspect door ajar switch signal circuit and the low reference circuit. Verify the scan tool door ajar switch parameter is Door Ajar or Active.
- If not the specified value, test the suspect door ajar switch signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the suspect door latch assembly.
