- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B71R liftgate object sensor - right.
- Test for less than 10 Ξ© between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K39 liftgate module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the B71L liftgate object sensor - left.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.75-5.25 V between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K39 liftgate module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K39 liftgate module.
- Test of infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for less than 10 Ξ© between the signal circuit terminal A at the B71R liftgate object sensor - right and the signal circuit terminal B at the B71L liftgate object sensor - left.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate B71 liftgate object sensor.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
