Interior Decklid Release Switch Shorted Or Stuck

NOTE: After making any repairs, perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  1. With the DRBIII, erase DTCs. Turn the ignition on. Operate the decklid release from the interior switch. With the DRBIII, read DTCs. If the DRBIII displays INTERIOR DECKLID RELEASE SWITCH SHORTED OR STUCK, go to next step. If the DRBIII does not display INTERIOR DECKLID RELEASE SWITCH SHORTED OR STUCK, the causes for setting this code are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. See POWER DOOR LOCKS in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL.
  2. Disconnect the interior decklid release switch connector. Turn the ignition on. Measure the voltage between ground and the decklid release relay control circuit in the switch connector. If the voltage is more than 10 volts, replace the decklid release switch. If the voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step.
  3. Disconnect the RKE module connector. Disconnect the interior decklid release switch connector. Measure the resistance between ground and the decklid release relay control circuit. If the resistance is less than 1000 ohms, repair the decklid release relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the resistance is more than 1000 ohms, replace the remote keyless entry module. See REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
