DEFINITION: Diagnosis of one of the following driver information center (DIC) messages:

1

Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

Verify that the Door Ajar Indicator Malfunction complaint is present.

Does the Door Ajar Indicator System operate as described in the Door Ajar Indicator Description and Operation?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Close all doors.
4. With the scan tool, observe the parameter of each door ajar switch in the Driver Door Module (DDM), Inputs list:

•	Driver Door Ajar Sw.

•	Passenger Door Ajar Sw.

•	Left Rear Door Ajar Sw.

•	Right Rear Door Ajar Sw.

Does the scan tool indicate that the Door Ajar Sw. parameter is in the OFF state for all doors?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 5

1. Open all of the vehicle doors.
2. With the scan tool, observe the parameter of each door ajar switch in the DDM, Inputs list:

•	Driver Door Ajar Sw.

•	Passenger Door Ajar Sw.

•	Left Rear Door Ajar Sw.

•	Right Rear Door Ajar Sw.

Does the scan tool indicate that the Door Ajar Sw. is in the ON state for all doors?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 6

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the harness connector of the inoperative door lock actuator.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. With the scan tool, observe the inoperable Door Ajar Switch parameter.

Does the scan tool display OFF?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 9

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the harness connector of the inoperative door lock actuator.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the door ajar switch signal circuit and the ground circuit of the harness connector of the door lock actuator.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
5. With the scan tool, observe the appropriate Door Ajar Switch parameter.

Does the scan tool display ON?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 7

Test the ground circuit of the door lock actuator for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 8

Test the door ajar switch signal circuit of the door lock actuator for the following conditions:

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 10

Test the door ajar switch signal circuit of the door lock actuator for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 10

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the inoperative door module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 12

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the door lock actuator. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 13

Replace the inoperative door module. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming.

Did you complete the replacement?

Go to Step 14

--

Replace the inoperative door lock actuator. Refer to Front Side Door Latch Replacement or Rear Side Door Latch Replacement .

Did you complete the replacement?

Go to Step 14

--

Operate the system in order to verify the repair.

Did you correct the condition?

System OK

Go to Step 2
