Door Ajar Test 1A - Identifying Door Ajar System Problems

NOTE: Perform SYMPTOM ID TEST 1A  before proceeding. For connector terminal ID, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  and WIRING DIAGRAM. Perform TEST VER-1A  after each repair.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting any module connector. Ensure all connectors are clean and tight.
  1. Ensure all doors are closed and properly aligned. Using scan tool, select BODY SYSTEM, then INPUT/OUTPUT. Monitor door and liftgate ajar switch status. While monitoring switch status, open and close all doors and liftgate one at a time. Appropriate ajar switch status should toggle from OPEN to CLOSED when each door and liftgate is opened and closed.
  2. If scan tool displays ajar switch status CLOSED when each door is closed, perform appropriate shorted test. If scan tool displays ajar switch status OPEN when each door is opened, perform appropriate open test. See DOOR AJAR DIAGNOSTIC TEST DIRECTORY  table.
