Pinpoint Test T: The Liftgate/Luggage Compartment Lid Passive Entry Feature Is Inoperative

  1. T1 CHECK THE LIFTGATE/LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LID RELEASE OPERATION FROM THE RELEASE SWITCH 
    • Electronically unlock the doors.
    • Press the liftgate/luggage compartment lid release button.

    Does the liftgate/luggage compartment lid latch release? 

  2. T2 CHECK THE RKE (REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY) OPERATION 
    • Close the liftgate/luggage compartment lid.
    • Press the liftgate button twice on a passive key.

    Does the liftgate/luggage compartment lid latch release? 

  3. T3 CHECK FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) AND RFA (REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR) MODULE 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform a network test.

    Does the BCM and the RFA module pass the network test? 

  4. T4 CHECK THE RFA (REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR) MODULE TRUNK/DECKLID LOCK SWITCH (TR_LK_BUT) PID (PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION) 
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the RFA  module Parameter Identifications (PIDs).
    • Press the liftgate/luggage compartment lid release switch while monitoring the RFA  module PID  TR_LK_BUT.

    Does the PID indicate the switch is being pressed? 

    • Yes  : GO to  T6
    • No  : GO to T5 
  5. T5 CHECK THE RELEASE SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect Liftgate/Luggage Compartment Lid Release Switch C4224  .
    • Disconnect RFA C4392E  .
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C4392E-18  OHM C4224-2 

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to  T10
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit.
  6. T6 CHECK THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY REAR ANTENNA 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect Keyless Entry Rear Antenna C4082  .
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      G08100164

      C4082, Pin 1, component side
      OHM
      G08100164

      C4082, Pin 2, component side

    Is the resistance between 1 and 3 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to T7 
    • No  : INSTALL a new keyless entry rear antenna.
  7. T7 CHECK THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY REAR ANTENNA CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Disconnect RFA  Module C4392A  .
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C4082-1  VOLTAGE Ground
      C4082-2  VOLTAGE Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    • Yes  : REPAIR the circuit in question.
    • No  : GO to T8 
  8. T8 CHECK THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY REAR ANTENNA CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C4082-1  OHM Ground
      C4082-2  OHM Ground

    Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to T9 
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question.
  9. T9 CHECK THE LIFTGATE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY REAR ANTENNA CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C4082-1  OHM C4392A-22 
      C4082-2  OHM C4392A-21 

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to T10 
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question.
  10. T10 CHECK FOR CORRECT RFA (REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR) MODULE OPERATION 
    • Disconnect and inspect all the RFA  module connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connectors or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect all the RFA  module connectors and make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes  : CHECK OASIS  for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB  exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB  instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new RFA  module.

      REFER to: REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR (RFA) MODULE .

    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
