Luggage Compartment
The rear compartment release circuit consists of the following:
• | The rear compartment lid release relay |
• | The rear compartment lid lock release actuator |
• | The rear compartment lid release switch |
• | The body control module (BCM) |
• | The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) |
The rear compartment release circuit operates as follows. Battery positive
voltage is applied at all times to the rear compartment lid release relay.
The rear compartment lid release relay is energized by either depressing
the rear compartment lid release switch, or when the RCDLR module receives
a rear compartment release signal from a key fob. The RCDLR then sends a
serial data message to the BCM, and the BCM then provides a path to ground
on the rear compartment lid release relay control circuit, energizing the
rear compartment lid release relay. When the rear compartment lid release
relay is energized, battery positive voltage is supplied to the rear compartment
lid lock release actuator causing the actuator to energize releasing the
rear compartment lid. The transmission must be in the (Park) position, for
the rear compartment lid lock release actuator to operate.
