GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

The trunk release system contains the following components:

    • The fuel door/trunk release switch
    • The driver's door switch
    • The driver's door module (DDM)
    • The rear integration module (RIM)
    • The rear fuse block
    • The trunk release relay
    • The rear compartment lid release actuator
    • The valet switch

The RIM operates the relays when it receives a class 2 message from the DDM. The RIM will then verify that the vehicle is in park before releasing either system.

The valet switch is used as a manual override for the system and must be closed in order for the release systems to work properly.
