NOTE: For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For appropriate wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS at end of article.

If problem is with trunk release or warning light, go to TEST 36E. If problem is not with trunk release or warning light, ensure DRB-II door lock test is still active. Disconnect Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module Black connector. Module is located on top, right side of dashboard.
NOTE: RKE module may be accessed by carefully prying each end of dashboard top cover, then lifting rear edge of top cover and sliding cover forward to disengage front clips.
With DRB-II in voltmeter mode, check voltage on RKE Black connector door unlock relay feed circuit (Pink/Violet wire). If voltage fluctuates from zero volts to less than 10 volts, repair open circuit in Pink/Violet wire. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.
If voltage fluctuates from zero volts to more than 10 volts, use DRB-II to stop door lock test. With DRB-II in ohmmeter mode, check resistance on RKE Black connector ground circuit (Black wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace RKE module. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open circuit in Black wire. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.

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.
