Body Rear End Schematics

Circuit Description

The rear compartment lid release solenoid is controlled by the body control module (BCM). The BCM supplies battery positive voltage to the rear compartment lid release solenoid through circuit 56. When circuit 56 is grounded or open while the BCM is commanding the rear compartment lid release solenoid on, DTC B3267 is set. Circuit 1940 through the RFA BATT fuse supplies the BCM RFA battery voltage.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The BCM is commanding the rear compartment lid release solenoid on (keyfob button pressed).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

All of the following conditions must be met:

    • The BCM is commanding the rear compartment lid release solenoid on.
    • Circuit 56 is open or shorted to ground.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM turns off the rear compartment lid release solenoid output for the remainder of the current ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • A current DTC B3267 will clear when the malfunction is longer present and the ignition switch is cycled.
    • All BCM history codes clear after 100 ignition cycles (from OFF to ON) with no current codes active during the 100 ignition cycles.

Diagnostic Aids
    • If circuit 56 is shorted to ground and the rear compartment lid release solenoid is commanded on, the RFA BATT fuse will blow.
    • If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Perform the above tests while wiggling the wiring and connectors. This will cause the malfunction to appear.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

  1. Listen for an audible click when the rear compartment lid release solenoid operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.

    2.

  2. Verifies that the body control module is providing voltage to the rear compartment lid release solenoid.

    3.

  3. Tests for an open in the ground circuit to the rear compartment lid release solenoid.

    4.

  4. Tests if voltage is constantly being applied to the rear compartment lid release solenoid.

  5. The RFA BATT fuse supplies battery voltage to the BCM.
