1. Content theft deterrent will not disarm using door key. | ||||
Circuit/System Description
The content theft deterrent (CTD) system is a software based system in which the body control module (BCM) actively monitors certain inputs to determine if unauthorized vehicle access is being attempted. The driver door key cylinder switch is used as an input to disarm the CTD system. The driver door module (DAM) monitors the driver door key switch signal circuit to determine if the driver door cylinder is being rotated, indicating a vehicle key is being used to unlock the vehicle and the CTD system should be disarmed. The driver door key cylinder switch, located in the driver door latch assembly, provides a switched ground for the signal circuit. The DAM communicates the status of the driver door key cylinder switch to the BCM via serial data.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Door Key Cyl. Unlock Switch parameter cycles between Idle and Unlock while turning the driver door lock cylinder with the vehicle key.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver door latch assembly.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 8 and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Door Key Cyl. Unlock Switch parameter is Idle.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 9 and ground. Verify the scan tool Door Key Cyl. Unlock Switch parameter is Unlock.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the door latch assembly.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DAM. |
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 9 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DAM. |
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DAM. |
Component Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver door latch assembly.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 7 and the low reference terminal 8 with the switch in the open position.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the signal terminal 7 and the low reference terminal 8 with the switch in the closed position.
- Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the door latch assembly housing/case.
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, replace the door latch assembly. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the door latch assembly. |
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, replace the door latch assembly. |
