DTC DESCRIPTOR

DTC B3265 01
Trunk Release Output Circuit Short to Battery

DIAGNOSTIC FAULT INFORMATION
Always perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The body control module (BCM) grounds the trunk release control signal circuit based on trunk release switch signal from either the interior rear compartment lid release switch or the exterior rear compartment lid release switch. The rear compartment lid pull down actuator is supplied battery voltage at all times via the TRUNK LATCH fuse. When either the interior or exterior rear compartment lid release switch is pressed, the trunk release switch signal circuit is grounded. This input will request the BCM to momentarily ground the trunk release control signal circuit, which will open the rear compartment lid.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The rear compartment lid release is active.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- The BCM detects a short to battery on the trunk release control signal circuit.
- The condition is present for more than 125 ms.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The BCM disables the rear compartment lid release for the duration of the ignition cycle.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- A current DTC will clear when the condition is no long present.
- A history DTC will clear after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM VERIFICATION
1. Press the interior rear compartment lid release switch. The rear compartment lid should release.
2. Press the exterior rear compartment lid release switch. The rear compartment lid should release.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM TESTING
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the rear compartment lid pull down actuator.
2. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate when connected between the trunk release control signal circuit and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test for short to battery on the trunk release control signal circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
3. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear compartment lid pull down actuator.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verification Tests
