Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) provides a low side drive output that controls the trunk release relay.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3265 01
This DTC will set when the BCM detects a short to battery in the trunk relay output circuit.
B3265 06
This DTC will set when the BCM detects an open or short to ground in the trunk relay output circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The BCM stores the DTC to memory. |
| • | The rear compartment lid latch will malfunction. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | This DTC will change from current to history when the fault is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present. |

Circuit/System Verification
Command the trunk release with a scan tool. The rear compartment lid release actuator should release the trunk lid.
Circuit/System Testing
- Disconnect the harness connector at the underhood fuse block.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal B10 and B+.
- 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, replace the underhood fuse block.
| ⇒ | 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. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
