Checking microswitch in tailgate

Checking microswitch in tailgate

Fault symptom

Alarm cannot be activated/deactivated with key in the tailgate

Action


1. Connect ISAT, select "READ VALUES" and then select "TAILGATE LOCK". Read off the ISAT display.

Open tailgate - "OPEN"

Closed tailgate - "CLOSED"

2. If incorrect, connect BOB and disconnect ISAT.

Measure resistance between theft alarm connection pin 15 and a good grounding point while repeating step 1.

Open tailgate - < 1 Ohm

Closed tailgate - OL

If the resistance is correct, proceed to step 5.

3. Check the wiring harness for open circuit/short-circuit by measuring resistance between theft alarm connection pin 15 and connection 1.

4. Also check the resistance between connection 2 on the microswitch and a good grounding point.

Resistance in step 3 and 4 must be < 1 Ohm.

5. Also check the voltage between connection 2 and a good grounding point. The voltage must be 0 V.

6. If the resistance and voltage is correct in steps 4 and 5, the malfunction is likely in the microswitch, change switch and check the function.

7. If the malfunction remains despite the above checks, continue fault diagnosis on page .
