Does the continuity test pass~
- Yes : The latch ajar switch is working correctly. Do not replace latch . Investigate for fault elsewhere in vehicle system
- No : Release latch claw and repeat test from step 4 to confirm result. If this is a repeat test and you are sure that the ajar switch does not provide continuity when fully latched. Replace the latch. If replacing latch as part of a warranty claim, please quote reference code AJARINOP in the technician comments section of the warranty claim
