Pinpoint Test E: The Alarm System Does Not Operate Correctly - The Alarm Does Not Arm/Inhibit From The Luggage Compartment Lid

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 117, Remote Keyless Entry and Alarm for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The Smart Junction Box (SJB) monitors the luggage compartment lid disarm switch on circuit CRT18 (YE/GY) for a ground signal. The luggage compartment lid disarm switch is a normally open switch. When the key is turned to the unlock position, the disarm switch completes the circuit to ground on circuit GD171 (BK/GY) signaling the SJB that an authorized entry to the luggage compartment is occurring. The SJB inhibits the alarm from activating until the luggage compartment lid is closed, then adds the luggage compartment lid to the protected entry points.

- DTC B2108 (Trunk Key Cylinder Switch Failure) - sets when there is a short to ground in the circuit between the luggage compartment lid disarm switch and the SJB, or the luggage compartment lid disarm switch is shorted closed internally.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Luggage compartment lid disarm switch
- SJB



PINPOINT TEST E: THE ALARM SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY - THE ALARM DOES NOT ARM/INHIBIT FROM THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LID

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery.

-------------------------------------------------
E1 CHECK CIRCUIT CRT18 (YE/GY) FOR AN OPEN OR A SHORT TO GROUND


NOTE: The luggage compartment lid disarm switch does not disarm (only inhibits) the perimeter alarm system. Once armed, the perimeter alarm can only be disarmed using the Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) key, driver door disarm switch, the keyless entry keypad (if equipped), or if a valid Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) key turns the ignition switch to the ON position.

- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Luggage Compartment Lid Disarm Switch C4320.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280c.
- Measure the resistance between the luggage compartment lid disarm switch C4320-2, circuit CRT18 (YE/GY), harness side and the SJB SJBC2280c-3, circuit CRT18 (YE/GY), harness side; and between the luggage compartment lid disarm switch C4320-2, circuit CRT18 (YE/GY), harness side and ground.




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms between the luggage compartment lid disarm switch and the SJB; and greater than 10,000 ohms between the luggage compartment lid disarm switch and ground?

Yes
GO to E2.

No
REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
E2 CHECK CIRCUIT GD171 (BK/GY) FOR AN OPEN


- Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
- Measure the resistance between the luggage compartment lid disarm switch C4320-1, circuit GD171 (BK/GY), harness side and ground.




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to E3.

No
REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
E3 CHECK THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LID DISARM SWITCH


- Connect: Luggage Compartment Lid Disarm Switch C4320.
- While turning the key in the luggage compartment lid lock cylinder to the UNLOCK and AT-REST positions, measure the resistance between the SJB C2280c-3, circuit CRT18 (YE/GY), harness side and ground.




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms with the luggage compartment lid lock cylinder in the UNLOCK position; and greater than 10,000 ohms with the luggage compartment lid lock cylinder in the AT-REST position?

Yes
GO to E4.

No
INSTALL a new luggage compartment lid disarm switch. REFER to Luggage Compartment Lid Latch in Locks. CONNECT the negative battery cable. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
E4 CHECK THE SJB FOR CORRECT OPERATION


- Connect: Negative Battery Cable.
- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Body Control Systems. CYCLE each key to the ON position for a minimum of 6 seconds to PROGRAM the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) function of the IKT keys. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
