Circuit/System Verification

With the doors closed and locked, approach the vehicle with the keyless entry transmitter and pull the exterior left rear door handle or the exterior

right rear door handle. The appropriate door should unlock and unlatch allowing the door to be pulled open.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B27 door handle switch - rear.

2. Test for less than 30ohm between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, test for greater than 10 V between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.

瀚慖f 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 K48 keyless entry control module.

4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B27 door handle switch - rear.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B27 door handle switch - rear.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 2 and the ground terminal 1 with the switch in the open position.

瀚慖f not the specified value, replace the B27 door handle switch - rear.

3. Test for less than 2 ohm between the signal terminal 2 and the ground terminal 1 with the switch in the closed position.

4. If greater than the specified range, replace the B27 door handle switch - rear.
