Circuit/System Description
When the body control module (BCM) detects a trunk release command, the BCM applies battery positive voltage to the trunk release relay control circuit, which energizes the coil side of the trunk relay.
Conditions for Running the DTC
System voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a fault in the trunk relay control circuit during a trunk release command.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM disables the trunk release relay control until the next ignition cycle.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present. |
| • | When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles. |

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, command the Trunk Release with a scan tool. The rear compartment lid latch should release the trunk lid.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRK REL relay.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the relay coil ground circuit terminal and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the relay coil control circuit terminal and ground.
- Command the Trunk Release ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the TRK REL relay.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | 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 BCM |
Component Testing
Relay Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRK REL relay.
- Test for 60-180 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- Install a 25A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the relay. |
| • | 30 and 86 |
| • | 30 and 87 |
| • | 30 and 85 |
| • | 85 and 87 |
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, replace the relay. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the relay. |
