Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 GMC Acadia, 2013 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2013 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the liftgate latch assembly.
  2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool LGM Latch Ratchet Sw. parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 6 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the LGM.
  3. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground. Verify the scan tool LGM Latch Ratchet Sw. parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the LGM.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the liftgate latch assembly.
