Pinpoint Test O : The Door Ajar Warning RTT (RECONFIGURABLE Telltale) Indicator Is Never Or Always On
- Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
See Door, Liftgate, Hood Ajar. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .
If a door ajar (driver door, passenger door, left rear door, right rear door, liftgate or hood) status message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the door, liftgate or hood ajar RTT indicator to the last indication state (on or off), based upon the last message received.
If a door ajar (driver door, passenger door, left rear door, right rear door, liftgate or hood) status message is missing for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the door, liftgate or hood ajar RTT indicator off.

- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect the IPC connector.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the IPC connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) . No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
