Circuit/System Testing

2019 Chevrolet Cruze LS, 4D HatchbackSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: M40 Rear Compartment Lid Latch
  3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
  4. Verify the scan tool parameter: Rear Closure Ajar Switch = Inactive
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K9 Body Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:
      • {Notchback} Signal circuit terminal 4 @ Component harness & Ground
      • {Hatchback} Signal circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  5. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:
    • {Notchback} Signal circuit terminal 4 & Ground circuit terminal 2
    • {Hatchback} Signal circuit terminal 2 & Ground circuit terminal 1
  6. Verify the scan tool parameter: Rear Closure Ajar Switch = Active
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K9 Body Control Module
    3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:
      • {Notchback} Signal circuit terminal 4 @ Component harness & Ground
      • {Hatchback} Signal circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
      • {Notchback} Signal circuit terminal 4 @ Component harness & Terminal 5 X6 @ Control module harness
      • {Hatchback} Signal circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Terminal 5 X6 @ Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  7. Test or replace the component: M40 Rear Compartment Lid Latch
RENDER: 1.0x

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
