Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle

Verify that the courtesy/dome lamps are always ON.

Do the courtesy/dome lamps operate normally?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

Go to Step 3

Test for a ground signal on the liftgate ajar signal circuit of the liftgate ajar switch.

Was a ground signal present?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 4

1. Ensure that the instrument panel lamp dimmer switch is in the minimum brightness position.
2. Inspect for the following related body control module (BCM), driver door module (DDM), and passenger door module (PDM) data parameters. Refer to Scan Tool Data List and Scan Tool Data Definitions for typical values and definitions:

•	The courtesy lamp switch

•	The interior lamp defeat switch

•	The door ajar switches

Was a problem found?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 9

Disconnect and test the switch of the affected input circuit for proper continuity in the open and closed positions. Refer to Testing for Continuity.

Is continuity correct in both positions?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 7

Test the signal circuits of the affected input switch for a short to ground or the courtesy lamp defeat switch signal circuit for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs.
