1. Trunk Lamp Inoperative

2. Trunk Lamp Always ON

 

Circuit/System Description

When the body control module (BCM) receives a trunk open signal, the BCM supplies voltage to the trunk lamp control circuit. This will illuminate the trunk lamp.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground in the control circuit for the trunk lamp.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM will not illuminate the trunk lamp.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•  The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
•  A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification

Observe the driver information center while opening and closing the trunk. The driver information center should display the trunk ajar message only when the trunk is open.

If the driver information center displays the trunk ajar message when a trunk is closed, refer to Door Ajar Indicator Malfunction .

Circuit/System Testing


Note: 
If the liftgate is opened after all the modules go to sleep, the dome light will not come on. The liftgate ajar switch input to the BCM will not wake up the BCM once it has gone to sleep, so the dome light will not come on. Once the BCM gets an input to wake it up, from remote keyless entry or a door handle, the dome light will turn on when the liftgate is opened.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E8S Rear Compartment Courtesy Lamp.
2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Connect a test lamp between the E8S Rear Compartment Courtesy Lamp control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
4. The test lamp should be ON when the rear compartment is open and OFF when the rear compartment is closed.
If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
5. If all circuits test normal, replace the E8S Rear Compartment Courtesy Lamp.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
