Troubleshooting Hints

1. Check MULTI-FUNCTION ALARM IN-LINE Fuse by operating turn signals. If open, check wiring to Rear Compartment Lid Release Solenoid (Sedan) or to Rear Compartment Lid Release Relay (Wagon) for a short to ground.
2. If Rear Compartment Lid Release Solenoid doesn't function from Remote Keyless Entry transmitter, see Keyless Entry. Keyless Entry
3. Check PWR/ACC Circuit Breaker for an open (Wagon only).
^ Check for a broken (or partially broken) wire inside of the insulation which could cause system malfunction but prove "GOOD" in a continuity/voltage check with a system disconnected .These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded, and if possible, should be checked by monitoring for a voltage drop with the system operational (under load).
^ Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems (see Troubleshooting Procedures). Diagnostic Aids
^ Refer to System Diagnosis.
