Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?
Yes
• Go to Test Step 7
No
• Repair the right cinch/release motor unlatch driver circuit for an open.
• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior
Test Step 7 - Check the Right Cinch/Release Motor Latch Driver Circuit for a Short To Ground
• Measure the resistance between the ground and the right cinch/release motor latch driver circuit in the right rear door module C1 harness connector.
• Wiggle the harness and check for an intermittent short circuit condition.
Is the resistance less than 10k ohms?
Yes
• Repair the right cinch/release motor latch driver circuit for a short to ground.
• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior
No
• Go to Test Step 8
Test Step 8 - Check the Right Cinch/Release Motor Unlatch Driver Circuit for a Short to Ground
• Measure the resistance between the ground and the right cinch/release motor unlatch driver circuit in the right rear door module C1 harness connector.
