1. Access Panel Release System Malfunction 2. Access Panel Actuator Malfunction |
The access panel release system consists of three relays and six actuators. When the body control module (BCM) receives a command to release the appropriate access panel, it enables the access panel release system by supplying a ground to the access panel relay coil. With the relay energized, battery positive voltage is allowed from the relay switched input through the switch contacts and out the relay switched output to the access panel actuator releasing the access panel.

⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the actuators do not activate, test the control circuit for an short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the actuators. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
