Luggage Compartment Description and Operation General
The rear compartment lid release system includes the following main
components:
| • | The rear compartment lid latch assembly |
| | This assembly
includes an electrically-controlled release actuator and a release cable. |
| • | The rear compartment lid latch striker |
| • | An IP-mounted rear compartment lid release button with a mechanical
lockout feature |
| • | The keyless entry transmitter |
Pressing the rear compartment lid release button opens the rear compartment,
provided that the following conditions are both true:
| • | The gear shift lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL. |
| • | The rear compartment lid release lockout is in the UNLOCKED position. |
Pressing rear compartment lid release button on the keyless entry transmitter
opens the rear compartment provided that one of the following conditions
is true:
| • | The ignition switch is OFF. |
| • | The ignition switch is in RUN and the gear shift lever is set
to PARK. |
The mechanical lockout disables the IP-mounted rear compartment lid
release button . Lid release operation using the keyless entry transmitter
is not affected. In order to use the lockout feature, insert the
ignition key into the IP-mounted rear compartment lid release button.
Turn the key 1/4 turn, then remove the key.
When the vehicle is in park and the trunk release switch is pressed
it grounds the rear compartment lid release switch input in the Body Control
Module (BCM). The BCM then sends a Class 2 message to the Remote Function
Actuator (RFA). The RFA supplies an internal ground for the coil side
of the rear compartment lid release relay activating the relay. The
rear compartment lid release actuator receives battery voltage through
the 15 A trunk release fuse when the relay closes. Ground is
supplied by G400.
The rear compartment lid may also be released using the keyless entry
transmitter.
Luggage Compartment Description and Operation Indicator Inoperative
TRUNK AJAR - 24
The IPC illuminates the TRUNK AJAR - 24 indicator in the DIC when
the body control module (BCM) detects that the trunk is ajar or open. The
IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination.
The IPC sends a class 2 message to the BCM to activate an audible
warning when the vehicle moves a minimum of 6 meters (20 feet)
with the trunk open. The IPC calculates the distance based on a class 2
message from the PCM indicating the vehicle speed.
