DTC Descriptor

DTC B324A 02

- Rear Cargo Door Unlock Motor Circuit Short to Ground

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

When the body control module receives a liftgate release command, it will provide voltage to one side of the relay and ground to the other side of

the relay. This will energize the relay causing the switch side of the relay to close and will then provide B+ voltage to the liftgate latch.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The system voltage is 9-16 volts.

* When the relay is actively commanded by the BCM

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground in the RR CLOSURE relay control circuit.

Actions Taken When DTC Sets

The liftgate latch will malfunction.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.

* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.

* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.
