Trunk Lid/Tailgate Release

FUEL DOOR RELEASE
Pressing the fuel door release switch provides an input signal to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster sends a Class 2 serial data message to the Body Control Module (PZM). The PZM internally grounds connector C2 terminal C12, grounding CKT 93 (WHT), provided that the transaxle is in the PARK position and the valet switch is closed.

Power is supplied through the RADIO/PHONE Fuse, CKT 40 (ORN) and the coil of the fuel door release relay to the now-grounded CKT 93 (WHT). The relay coil energizes and closes the relay contacts.

Power is supplied from the CONVENIENCE Fuse through CKT 2040 (ORN), the now-closed relay contacts, CKT 79 (PNK), and the fuel door release solenoid. The solenoid energizes and the fuel door latch assembly releases the fuel door.

TRUNK LID RELEASE
Pressing the trunk lid release switch provides an input signal to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster sends a Class 2 serial data message to the PZM. The PZM grounds terminal C6 of the rear compartment lid release solenoid through CKT 1344 (LT BLU) provided that the transaxle is in PARK and the valet lockout switch is closed.

Power is supplied through the RADIO/PHONE Fuse, CKT 40 and the coil of the rear compartment lid release relay to the now-grounded CKT 1344 (LT BLU). The relay coil energizes and closes the relay contacts.

Power is supplied from the CONVENIENCE fuse through CKT 2040 (ORN), the now-closed relay contacts, CKT 56 (BLK/WHT), and the rear compartment lid release solenoid. The solenoid energizes and the rear compartment lid latch assembly releases the trunk lid.
