Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) receives a discrete input from the rear compartment lid ajar switch signal circuit. When the rear compartment lid latch releases the rear compartment lid, the rear compartment lid ajar switch, which is internal to the rear compartment lid latch, is supplied with ground which causes the boot ajar switch signal circuit to be pulled low. The BCM interprets this and communicates via serial data to the driver information centre which will display the Boot Open message.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Rear Closure Ajar Switch parameter while opening and closing the trunk. The parameter should change between Inactive and Active.

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M40 rear compartment lid latch.
  2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Rear Closure Ajar Switch parameter is Inactive.
    3. ⇒If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 4 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  3. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground. Verify the scan tool Rear Closure Ajar Switch parameter is Active.
    4. ⇒If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 4 for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the M40 rear compartment lid latch.

Component Testing

Static Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M40 rear compartment lid latch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 4 and the ground terminal 2 with the switch in the open position.
    3. ⇒If not the specified value, replace the M40 rear compartment lid latch.
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω between the signal terminal 4 and the ground terminal 2 with the switch in the closed position.
    4. ⇒If greater than the specified range, replace the M40 rear compartment lid latch.
