Door Switch Check

  1. CHECK DOOR SWITCHES INPUT SIGNAL

    With CONSULT-III

    Check door switches ("DOOR SW-DR", "DOOR SW-AS", "DOOR SW-RL", "DOOR SW-RR") in DATA MONITOR mode with CONSULT-III. Refer to "CONSULT-III FUNCTION (BCM) ".

    • When any doors are open:

      DOOR SW-DR : ON 

      DOOR SW-AS : ON 

      DOOR SW-RL : ON 

      DOOR SW-RR : ON 

    • When any doors are closed:

      DOOR SW-DR : OFF 

      DOOR SW-AS : OFF 

      DOOR SW-RL : OFF 

      DOOR SW-RR : OFF 

      Without CONSULT-III

      Check voltage between BCM connector M18 or M19 terminals 12, 13, 47, 48 and ground.

      OK or NG 

      OK: Door switch circuit is OK.

      NG: GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK DOOR SWITCH CIRCUIT
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect door switch and BCM.
    3. Check continuity between door switch connector B21 (Front LH), B28 (Front RH), B26 (Rear LH), B41 (Rear RH) terminal 2 and BCM connector M18, M19 terminals 12, 13, 47 and 48.

      2 - 47 : Continuity should exist. 

      2 - 12 : Continuity should exist. 

      2 - 48 : Continuity should exist. 

      2 - 13 : Continuity should exist. 

    4. Check continuity between door switch connector B21 (Front LH), B28 (Front RH), B26 (Rear LH), B41 (Rear RH) terminal 2 and ground.

      2 - Ground : Continuity should not exist.

    OK: GO TO 4.

    NG: Replace door switch.

  4. CHECK BCM OUTPUT VOLTAGE
    1. Reconnect BCM connectors.
    2. Check voltage between BCM connector M18, M19 terminals 12, 13, 47, 48 and ground.

      12 - Ground : Battery voltage 

      13 - Ground : Battery voltage 

      47 - Ground : Battery voltage 

      48 - Ground : Battery voltage
