Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Body Control System in Body Control System

2

Close the sliding door(s).

Perform the BCM Input/Output test:

  1. Turn off the IP dimmer switch.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
  3. Remove the BCM PRGRM fuse.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position. The BCM sounds 4 chimes, indicating the BCM type installed on the vehicle.
  5. Within 1 second, turn the ignition switch from the ACC position to the LOCK position and back to the ACC position.
  6. The BCM sounds any stored DTCs.

  7. Turn the I/P dimmer switch to the DOME position.
  8. The BCM enters the Input/Output test.

  9. Cycle the IP dimmer switch from the DOME position to the OFF position and back to the DOME position in order to move to the next test.
  10. The BCM runs the Input/Output test in numerical order.

    The BCM flashes the fasten belts indicator and sounds the chime a number equivalent to the Input/Output test number:

    • Test 1 de-energizes CKT 1393 (protected courtesy light output).
    • Test 2 energizes CKT 1393.
    • Test 3 grounds CKT 690 (courtesy lights control).
    • Test 4 turns on the exterior lights.
    • Test 5 sounds the horn relay for 25 ms.
    • Test 6 turns on the security indicator lamp.
    • Test 7 turns off the theft security indicator lamp.
  11. Open and close the inoperative door.
  12. Listen to the chime.

Important: While the BCM is performing the Input/Output test, the chime sounds when any of the BCM inputs is activated. Example: The chime sounds when any Door is opened.

Does the chime sound when you open the inoperative sliding door?

  1. Disconnect the BCM connector C2.
  2. Use a J 39200 digital multimeter (DMM) to measure the resistance between the BCM harness connector C2 terminal C4 and the inoperative sliding door jamb switch harness connector terminal B.

Is the resistance within the specified range?

Less than 2 ohms

Go to Step 8
