Pinpoint Test H: The Luggage Compartment Lamps Are Inoperative
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 89, Interior Lamps for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 113, Luggage Compartment for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The luggage compartment lamps are controlled by the Lighting Control Module (LCM). The LCM receives a signal from the luggage compartment lid ajar switch through the trunk pull-down module or the Liftgate/Trunk Module (LTM) if equipped with a power luggage compartment lid. When the luggage compartment lid is opened, the luggage compartment lid ajar switch closes and signals the trunk pull-down module or the LTM. The trunk pull-down module or the LTM signals the LCM to request luggage lamp operation. The LCM controls the ground side of the luggage compartment lamps.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Luggage lamp assembly
- Trunk pull-down module
- Luggage compartment lid release solenoid/ajar switch
- LTM
- LCM
