Circuit Description

The body control module (PZM) runs a test inorder to determine whether the rear compartment lid tamper switch is active. The PZM runs the test when the theft deterrent system is in one of the following states:

    • OFF
    • Idle
    • Ready to arm
    • Arm initiated
    • Arm delay

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PZM determines that the rear compartment lid tamper switch has been active for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The PZM sets DTC B2719 as current, but the PZM still allows the arming of the theft deterrent system, disregarding the input of the rear compartment lid tamper switch.
    • No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • The PZM determines that the rear compartment lid switch is no longer active and that the ignition switch has been cycled from OFF to RUN.
    • A history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
    • Use the On-Board Clearing DTCs feature.
    • Use a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

The following conditions may activate the system intermittently.

    • A loose or corroded rear compartment lid lock cylinder tamper switch connector.
    • The retainer is not firmly installed to the cylinder.
