OK or NG

OK: Door switch circuit is OK.

NG: GO TO 2.

CHECK DOOR SWITCH CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect door switch and BCM.
3. Check continuity between door switch connector (B) B8 (Front LH), B108 (Front RH), B46 (Sliding LH), B135 (Sliding RH) terminal 1 or back door latch (door ajar switch) connector (C) D511 terminal 7 and BCM connector (A) M18, M20 terminals 12, 13, 58, 62 and 63
  1 - 62: Continuity should exist.
  
  1 - 12: Continuity should exist.
  
  1 - 63: Continuity should exist.
  
  1 - 13: Continuity should exist.
  
  7 - 58: Continuity should exist.
4. Check continuity between door switch connector (B) B8 (Front LH), B108 (Front RH), B46 (Sliding LH), B135 (Sliding RH) terminal 1 or back door latch (door ajar switch) connector (C) D511 terminal 7 and ground.
  1 - Ground: Continuity should not exist.
  
  7 - Ground: Continuity should not exist.
OK or NG

OK: GO TO 3.

NG: Repair or replace harness.

BACK DOOR

Check continuity between back door latch connector (A) D511 terminals 7 and 8 while pressing (closing back door) and releasing (opening back door) switch.

When back door is open: Continuity should exist.

When back door is closed: Continuity should not exist.

OK or NG

OK: (Front and rear doors) Switch circuit is OK.

OK: (Back door) GO TO 4.

NG: Replace door switch.

CHECK BACK DOOR SWITCH GROUND
Check continuity between back door latch connector terminal 8 and ground.

8 - Ground: Continuity should exist.

OK or NG

OK: Back door switch circuit is OK.

NG: Repair or replace harness.
