Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the L/GATE relay.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and B+.
- Command the liftgate latch assembly by pressing and releasing the exterior liftgate control switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the liftgate relay high circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the L/GATE relay.
