DTC Descriptor

DTC B2730 00
- Interior Trunk Lid Unlatch Switch Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

When the ignition is ON, the body control module (BCM) supplies a signal to the rear compartment lid unlatch switch through the trunk release switch signal circuit. When the rear compartment lid unlatch switch is pressed, the voltage within the signal circuit is pulled low and in response, the BCM will energize the trunk release relay.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground in the rear compartment lid release switch signal circuit for greater than 60 seconds

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM ignores the input from the rear compartment lid unlatch switch.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* This 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

1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify the scan tool Interior Liftgate/Liftgate Window Unlatch Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive when pressing and releasing the rear compartment lid unlatch switch.

If the parameter does not change
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If the parameter changes

3. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S58 rear compartment lid unlatch switch. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.

If 10 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

If less than 10 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Verify the scan tool Interior Liftgate/Liftgate Window Unlatch Switch parameter is Inactive.

If not Inactive

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance, replace the K9 body control module.

If Inactive

5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and the ground circuit terminal A.

6. Verify the scan tool Interior Liftgate/Liftgate Window Unlatch Switch parameter is Active.

If not Active

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.

If Active

7. Test or replace the S58 rear compartment lid unlatch switch.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S58 rear compartment lid unlatch switch.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal C and the ground terminal A with the switch in the open position.

If less than infinite resistance
Replace the S58 rear compartment lid unlatch switch.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 3 ohms between the signal terminal C and the ground terminal A with the switch in the closed position.

If 3 ohms or greater
Replace the S58 rear compartment lid unlatch switch.

If less than 3 ohms

4. All OK
