Test B: DECKLID Is Inoperative Using RKE Transmitter

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect decklid motor harness connector C844 located in center rear of trunk, behind lining. Connect a jumper wire between battery positive terminal and decklid motor terminal No. 3 (Orange/Green wire). Connect another jumper wire between battery negative terminal and decklid motor terminal No. 1 (Black wire). If decklid motor operates, go to next step. If decklid motor does not operate, replace decklid motor and retest system operation. See POWER DOOR LOCKS - CONTOUR & MYSTIQUE article.
  2. Measure resistance between ground and decklid motor harness connector C844 terminal No. 1 (Black wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Black wire between decklid motor harness connector and ground. Retest system operation.
  3. Disconnect central locking module 13-pin harness connector C451A located behind glove box. Measure resistance in Orange/Green wire between decklid motor harness connector C844 terminal No. 3 and central locking module harness connector C451A terminal No. 10. See Figure . Measure resistance between ground and central locking module harness connector C451A terminal No. 10 (Orange/Green wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms between connectors and more than 10 k/ohms between connector and ground, replace central locking module. See CENTRAL LOCKING MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After replacing central locking module, reprogram transmitter(s). See TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING  and retest system operation. If resistance is 5 ohms or more between connectors and 10 k/ohms or less between connector and ground, repair open or short to ground in Orange/Green wire and retest system operation.
