1. Rear Compartment Lid Release Malfunction 2. Rear Compartment Lid Release Switch Malfunction | ||||
Circuit/System Description
When the rear compartment lid release switch is operated, the rear compartment lid release switch signal circuit to the body control module (BCM) is switched to ground. The BCM receives the rear compartment lid release switch input and applies ground to the rear compartment lid relay control circuit. This energizes the trunk release relay coil, closing the switch side contacts, allowing battery voltage to be applied to the rear compartment lid release actuator and folding top cover actuator, releasing the buttresses and opening the rear compartment lid.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3265 01
The BCM detects a short to voltage in the relay control circuit for greater than 5 seconds.
B3265 06
The BCM detects a short to ground or open/high resistance in the relay control circuit for greater than 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The trunk release will be inoperative.
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 become 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 rear compartment lid.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRUNK RELSE relay.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 85 and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal 85 and the control circuit terminal 86.
- 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 the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the control circuit terminal 87 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the TRUNK RELSE relay. |
| ⇒ | 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. |
Component Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRUNK RELSE relay.
- Test for 60-200 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- Install a 3A 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 less than the specified value, replace the relay. |
| ⇒ | If greater than specified range, replace the relay. |
