The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Some customers may comment that the inside door handle release button switch will not release the either drivers or passenger door. Verify that the door lock is not on. Further investigation will show that the door will function from the release handle/cable on the floor next to the inside rocker panel. This may be the result of a stuck Exterior Door Handle Switch (touch pad) on the outside of the vehicles door.
Monitor the status of the Exterior Driver or Passenger Door Handle Switch. This data can be viewed using the Tech2 in the Drivers and/or Passengers door module. If the status displays "Active" when the switch is NOT being depressed, inspect and repair any associated wiring. If no trouble is found with the wiring, replace the Exterior Door Handle Switch as necessary.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
