Circuit/System Description
The BCM applies battery positive voltage to the trunk release relay control circuit, which energizes the coil side of the trunk relay. The switch side of the trunk relay then closes, supplying battery positive voltage through the relay and the latch motor voltage control circuit to the rear compartment lid latch. The rear compartment lid latch then releases the rear compartment lid so that it may be manually raised to an open position.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a fault in the trunk release relay control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The rear compartment latch will not operate.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present. |
| • | When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles |

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, command the trunk release with a scan tool. The rear compartment lid latch should release the trunk lid.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRUNK/RELSE relay.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 85 and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and the ground circuit terminal 85.
- Ignition ON, command the trunk release ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the TRUNK/RELSE relay.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Component Testing
Relay Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRUNK/RELSE relay.
- Test for 60-180 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- Install a 25A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the relay. |
| • | 30 and 86 |
| • | 30 and 87 |
| • | 30 and 85 |
| • | 85 and 87 |
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, replace the relay. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the relay. |
