Pinpoint Test 17
PINPOINT TEST 17: THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ONNormal Operation
NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).
The instrument cluster receives the driver door ajar status from the hardwired driver door switch. The instrument cluster receives all other door ajar status information from the SJB/GEM over the high speed
controller area network (HS-CAN) communication bus. When the driver door is open, the driver door switch closes to ground signaling the instrument cluster that the driver door is open. When any other door is open, the SJB/GEM sends a door ajar message to the instrument cluster to turn on the door ajar warning indicator. DTC U0140 (Lost Communication With the Body Control Module [GEM]) - is a continuous DTC that sets in the instrument cluster if the door ajar status message
is missing for more than 5 seconds and the instrument cluster illuminates the door ajar warning indicator.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- SJB
- instrument cluster
