Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 GMC Acadia, 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2011 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the liftgate control module.
- Test for less than 15 Ω between the control terminal 14 at the liftgate control module and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the liftgate control module.
- Test for less than 15 Ω between the control terminal 13 at the liftgate control module and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the liftgate control module.
- Test for 9-10 Ω between the control circuit terminal 13 and control circuit terminal 14 at the liftgate motor assembly.
- If less than the specified range, test either control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the liftgate actuator assembly.
- If greater than the specified range, test either control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the liftgate actuator assembly.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the liftgate control module.
