Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) provides a low side drive output that controls the trunk relay. The BCM monitors the voltage level on the trunk release relay control circuit to determine when a failure has occurred. The voltage level on this circuit should be high while the trunk relay is not energized, that is the trunk release feature has not been activated. Voltage will be less than 1V when the relay is energized. When the BCM receives a trunk release signal from a switch or keyless entry transmitter, it responds by applying ground to the trunk release relay control circuit, which energizes the trunk relay.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a fault in the trunk release relay control circuit when the output is active.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The rear compartment lid latch will malfunction.
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 become a history DTC. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles. |

Circuit/System Verification
Command the Trunk Release Test with a scan tool. The rear compartment lid release actuator should release the trunk lid.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRUNK RELEASE relay.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 85 and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and the B+ circuit terminal 85.
- Command the Trunk Release Test 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 TRUNK RELEASE relay.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the control circuit terminal 87 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the TRUNK RELEASE relay. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Component Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRUNK RELEASE relay.
- Test for 60-180 Ω between terminals 85 and 86.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- Install a 25A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12V. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 Ω 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 less than the specified value, replace the relay. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the relay. |

Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) provides voltage to the liftgate release relay control circuit thus energizing the Rear End Release relay which provides voltage to the liftgate latch assembly releasing the liftgate.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects short to voltage in the liftgate latch relay coil control ground circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The liftgate latch will malfunction.
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
Command the liftgate latch to release by pressing the liftgate release switch. The liftgate latch should release the liftgate.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the Rear End Release relay.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and B+.
- Command the liftgate latch assembly by pressing and releasing the liftgate release switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Rear End Release relay.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Component Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the Rear End Release relay.
- Test for 60-200 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the relay terminal 85 and 12V. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.
