Testing

  1. Turn ignition off. Remove driver door unlock relay from junction block. See Figure and Figure . Connect a 12-volt test light between ground and door unlock relay connector terminal No. 87.

  3. Ensure ignition is off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Connect test light between driver door unlock relay connector terminals No. 88 and 90. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, actuate driver door unlock relay. If test light flashes, replace driver door unlock relay. If test light does not flash, leave driver door unlock relay removes and go to next step.
