DOOR SWITCH CHECKING PROCEDURE CHART

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK DOOR SWITCH CIRCUIT. 
Measure the voltage between the body integrated unit harness connector terminal and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
Front door RH: 
(i84) No. 32 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Front door LH: 
(i84) No. 19 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Rear door RH: 
(i84) No. 18 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Rear door LH: 
(i84) No. 31 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Rear gate: 
(i84) No. 17 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 		 Is the voltage 0 V when each door or rear gate is opened? Go to step 2.  Go to step 3. 
2 CHECK DOOR SWITCH CIRCUIT. 
Measure the voltage between the body integrated unit harness connector terminal and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
Front door RH: 
(i84) No. 32 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Front door LH: 
(i84) No. 19 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Rear door RH: 
(i84) No. 18(+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Rear door LH: 
(i84) No. 31 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Rear gate: 
(i84) No. 17 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 		 Is the voltage more than 10 V when each door or rear gate is closed? The door switch is OK. Go to step 3. 
3 CHECK DOOR SWITCH. 
  1. Disconnect the door switch harness connector.
  2. Measure the resistance between door switch terminals.

    Connector & terminal 

    (R12) Front RH door switch: 

    (R9) Front LH door switch: 

    (R16) Rear RH door switch: 

    (R22) Rear LH door switch: 

    No. 1 - No. 3: 

    Rear gate latch switch (Wagon model): 

    (D46) No. 1 - No. 2: 

 Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ when door switch is pushed? Go to step 4.  Replace the door switch.
4 CHECK DOOR SWITCH. 
Measure the resistance between door switch terminals.
Connector & terminal 
(R12) Front RH door switch: 
(R9) Front LH door switch: 
(R16) Rear RH door switch: 
(R22) Rear LH door switch: 
No. 1 - No. 3: 
Rear gate latch switch (Wagon model): 
(D46) No. 1 - No. 2: 		 Is the resistance less than 1 Ω, when door switch is released? Check the harness for open or short between body integrated unit and door switch. Replace the door switch.

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.
