Normal Operation - Door Ajar Input
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) sends a voltage signal to the door ajar switches. The door ajar switch is closed with the door closed. When the door is opened, the signal to ground is interrupted indicating an open door to the SJB.
Liftgate/Liftgate Window Ajar Input
The SJB sends a voltage signal to the liftgate ajar switch. The voltage signal passes through the liftgate ajar switch to the liftgate window ajar switch. The signal is then routed to ground.
The liftgate and the liftgate window ajar switches are wired in series and are monitored from a single circuit by the SJB. The liftgate and liftgate window ajar switches are closed when the liftgate and liftgate window are closed. When the liftgate or liftgate window is opened, the signal to ground is interrupted indicating an open liftgate or liftgate window (the SJB cannot determine which is open).
Instrument Panel Dimmer Switch Input
The SJB monitors the instrument panel dimmer switch status to determine if the courtesy lamps are requested. When the instrument panel dimmer switch is rotated to the DOME LAMP position, ground is supplied.
The SJB supplies voltage to the interior courtesy lamp(s) when any of the following conditions exist:
- Any door, liftgate or liftgate window is opened.
- The instrument panel dimmer switch is place in the DOME LAMP position.
- A correct unlock code from the keyless entry keypad or an unlock request from a programmed Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is detected.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Instrument panel dimmer switch
- Liftgate ajar switch (integrated into the liftgate latch)
- Liftgate window ajar switch (integrated into the liftgate window latch)
- Door ajar switch (integrated into the door latch)
- SJB
