Visual/Physical Inspection

Several of the symptom procedures ask for a careful visual/physical check. This step is extremely important-it could lead to correcting a problem without further checks and can save valuable time. These checks include the following:

• Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the rear compartment release system. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories in Wiring Systems.
• Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components and harness connectors for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.
