Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) grounds the trunk release control signal circuit based on trunk release switch signal from either the interior rear compartment lid release switch or the exterior rear compartment lid release switch. The rear compartment lid pull down actuator is supplied battery voltage at all times via the TRUNK LATCH fuse. When either the interior or exterior rear compartment lid release switch is pressed, the trunk release switch signal circuit is grounded. This input will request the BCM to momentarily ground the trunk release control signal circuit, which will open the rear compartment lid.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The rear compartment lid release is active.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to battery on the trunk release control signal circuit for greater than 125 ms.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM disables the rear compartment lid release for the duration of the ignition cycle.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles. |

Circuit/System Verification
Command the Trunk Release with a scan tool, the rear compartment lid pulldown actuator should release the trunk lid.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the rear compartment lid pull down actuator.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal B and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the rear compartment lid pull down actuator.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
