Door Ajar Indicator
The door ajar indicator system consists of the following components:
• | Body control module (BCM) |
• | Door ajar switch each of the doors |
• | Rear compartment lid ajar switch |
• | Instrument panel cluster (IPC) |
Each door lock contains a door ajar switch. The door ajar switches are an integral
part of each door lock and are not serviced separately. The BCM supplies battery positive
voltage to each door ajar switch. Ground for the driver door and left rear ajar switches
is provided by G301. Ground for the right front, right rear passenger, and
the rear compartment lid ajar switches is provided by G302. When the doors are closed,
the ajar switch contacts of each door are open. When a vehicle door is ajar, the ajar
switch contacts for that door are closed and the BCM interprets the flow of voltage
as a discrete input from the door ajar switch. The BCM then sends the request to illuminate
the corresponding door ajar indicator, through the class 2 serial data circuit
to the IPC . The IPC illuminates the appropriate door ajar indicator.
