   Fault symptom
  
  
   Tailgate cannot be disarmed/opened.
   
   
  
  
   
   
   
    Diagnostic procedure
   
   
    1 Check the operation of the tailgate release
   
  
  
   
   
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Connect the ISAT scan tool. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Select "TAILGATE LOCK". 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
   The ISAT scan tool should display "CLOSED". Press the right-hand button on the remote control. The ISAT scan tool should display "OPEN" for about 3 seconds and the tailgate motor should be activated.
   
   
   
    Is the function correct?
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 7.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     If the ISAT scan tool displays "OPEN" for about 3 seconds but the tailgate motor is not activated, continue with point 2. If the ISAT scan tool displays "CLOSED", proceed to point 4.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    2 Check the unlock signal from the electronic control module
   
   
  
  
   
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Unplug connector H26-4 (RHD). 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Unplug connector H26-1 (LHD). 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Connect the test lamp to pin 22 of connector H26-4 (H26-1) and a good grounding point. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Press the right-hand button on the remote control. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
   Is the test lamp on?
  
  
  
   
    Continue fault diagnosis as described in Service Manual 3:2 "Central locking system, electrically operated tailgate release".
    
    
   
  
  
  
  
   
    Continue with point 3.
    
    
   
  
  
  
   3 Check the wiring connected to the electronic control module
  
  
  
   Check the wiring harness for continuity between pin 23 of the electronic control module and pin 22 of connector H26-4.
   
   
  
  
   The resistance should be < 1 ohm.
   
   
   
    Is the resistance correct?
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 7.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Repair or replace the wiring harness.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    4 Check the operation of the tailgate release
   
   
  
  
   
   
  
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
  
   The tailgate motor should be activated.
   
   
   
    Does the tailgate unlock?
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 6.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 5.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    5 Check the operation of the tailgate release
   
   
  
  
   
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Unplug connector H26-4. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Connect the test lamp to connector H26-4, pin 22, and a good grounding point. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
  
   The test lamp should light.
   
   
   
    Is the test lamp on?
   
   
   
    
     Try changing the remote control.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 7.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    6 Check the remote control
   
   
  
  
   
   
  
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Press the right-hand button on the remote control. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
   The ISAT scan tool should display "RH BUTTON" when this button is pressed.
   
   
   
    Is ISAT displaying the correct text?
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 7.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Try changing the remote control.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    7 Final check
   
  
  
   Check to see if the fault symptom remains.
   
   
   
    Is the problem still present?
