WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 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 rear compartment lid latch.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Rear Closure Ajar Sw parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the ground circuit terminal 3. Verify the scan tool Rear Closure Ajar Sw parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear compartment lid latch.
