Pinpoint Test G: The Liftgate Glass Latch Release Is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 117, Remote Keyless Entry and Alarm for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
When the Smart Junction Box (SJB) receives an open request from the liftgate glass release switch a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or the keyless entry keypad (if equipped), the SJB supplies voltage to the liftgate glass latch. The liftgate glass latch has a dedicated ground circuit.
The SJB sends a voltage signal to the liftgate glass release switch through the input circuit. When the liftgate glass release switch is pressed, the voltage signal is routed to ground, signaling the SJB to release the liftgate glass. The liftgate glass release switch has a dedicated ground circuit.
- DTC B2667 (Liftglass Release Switch Circuit Failure) - an on-demand DTC that sets when the SJB detects a short to ground on the liftgate glass release switch input circuit.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Liftgate glass release switch
- Liftgate glass actuator
- SJB
PINPOINT TEST G: THE LIFTGATE GLASS LATCH RELEASE IS INOPERATIVE/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery.
