Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B164 Liftgate Position Sensor.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal E and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K39 Liftgate Control Module.
  3. Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the 12 V reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 12 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K39 Liftgate Control Module.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K39 Liftgate Control Module.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
    • B164 Liftgate Position Sensor - signal circuit terminal C
    • B164 Liftgate Position Sensor - signal circuit terminal D
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
  6. Test for less than 1 Ω between the signal circuit terminals listed below:
    • B164 Liftgate Position Sensor - signal circuit terminal C and the K39 Liftgate Control Module - signal circuit terminal 9
    • B164 Liftgate Position Sensor - signal circuit terminal D and the K39 Liftgate Control Module - signal circuit terminal 10.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B164 liftgate position sensor.
