43 Decklid Release Output Open

43-DECKLID RELEASE OUTPUT OPEN





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information Electrical Diagrams

- When Monitored:
Whenever the Decklid Release is activated.

- Set Condition:
The Body Control Module supplies the current to the Decklid Release Solenoid when the command to release is received. If the Release Driver current draw is less than 0.1 amp when the output is turned on, this code will set.





1. DTC PRESENT
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, erase the DTCs.
3. Cycle the ignition switch from Off to Run.
4. Try to operate the Decklid Release several times.
5. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.

Does the scan tool display 43-DECKLID RELEASE OUTPUT OPEN?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- The condition that caused the code to set is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. (Z) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN




1. Disconnect the Decklid Release Solenoid.
2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z) Ground circuit at the solenoid connector.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Repair the (Z) Ground circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

3. DECKLID RELEASE SOLENOID OPEN




1. Disconnect the Decklid Release Solenoid.
2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (Q2) Decklid Release Driver circuit at the solenoid connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Try to operate the Decklid Release several times.

Does the test light illuminate brightly when the decklid is activated?

Yes

- Replace the Decklid Release Solenoid.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 4

4. (Q2) DECKLID RELEASE DRIVER WIRE OPEN




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Decklid Release Solenoid connector.
3. Disconnect the BCM C4 harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance of the (Q2) Decklid Release Driver circuit between the BCM C4 connector and the Solenoid connector.

Is the resistance below 2.0 ohms?

Yes

- Replace the Body Control Module.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Repair the (Q2) Decklid Release Driver circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
