DTC Descriptor
DTC B3265 00
- Trunk Release Output Circuit
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) applies battery positive voltage to the trunk release relay control circuit, which energizes the coil side of the trunk relay. The switch side of the trunk relay then closes, supplying battery positive voltage through the relay and the relay controlled output circuit to the rear compartment lid latch. The rear compartment lid latch then releases the rear compartment lid so that it may be manually raised to an open position.
Conditions for Running the DTC
When the BCM is actively commanding the relay.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to ground in the relay control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM will command the relay, but the rear compartment lid release actuator will be inoperative
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.
* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, command the Trunk Release with a scan tool. The rear compartment lid release actuator should release the trunk lid.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRUNK relay.
2. Test for less than 1 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 85 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and the ground circuit terminal 85.
4. Ignition ON, command the Trunk Release with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn briefly illuminate during the RELEASE command.
• If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
• If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the TRUNK relay.
Component Testing
Relay Test
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRUNK relay.
2. Test for 60-180 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
• If not within the specified range, replace the TRUNK relay.
3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
* 30 and 86
* 30 and 87
* 30 and 85
* 85 and 87
• If not the specified value, replace the TRUNK relay.
4. Install a 5A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 V. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.
• If greater than the specified range, replace the TRUNK relay.
