Circuit/System Description

When the body control module (BCM) receives a boot open signal, the BCM supplies B+ to the cargo lamp control circuit. This will illuminate the cargo lamp.

Circuit/System Verification

Observe the driver information centre while opening and closing the boot. The driver information centre should display the boot ajar message only when the boot is open.

If the driver information centre displays the boot ajar message when the boot is closed, refer to Door Ajar Indicator Malfunction .

Circuit/System Testing

Note: Circuit/System Verification must be performed before Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E8S Rear Compartment Courtesy Lamp.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the E8S Rear Compartment Courtesy Lamp control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  5. The test lamp should turn ON when the boot is open and OFF after about 60 s when the boot is closed.
  6. If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
  7. If the all circuits test normal, replace the E8S Rear Compartment Courtesy Lamp.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
