Liftgate Button Switch Inoperative
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Outlook. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the interior liftgate switch.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Liftgate Handle Sw Status parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PLGM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground. Verify the scan tool Liftgate Handle Sw Status parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PLGM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the interior liftgate switch.
