Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) applies battery voltage to the rear compartment
courtesy lamp through the rear
compartment lamp control circuit. When the BCM receives a rear compartment lid
open input from the rear
compartment lid latch, the BCM applies battery voltage to the rear compartment
lamp control circuit
illuminating the rear compartment courtesy lamp. In the event that the rear
compartment lamp were to remain
illuminated for more than 10 minutes with the ignition switch in the OFF
position and no doors opened, the
BCM will deactivate the rear compartment lamp control circuit to prevent total
battery discharge.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, rear hatch latch latched, disconnect
the harness connector at the E8S
Rear Compartment Courtesy Lamp.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 2 and
ground.
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground
connection.
- If less than 5 ohms
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground,
ignition ON.
- Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Cargo Lamp ON
and OFF with a scan
tool.
- If the test lamp is always OFF
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X7 harness connector at the K9 Body Control
Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- If the test lamp is always ON
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X7 harness connector at the K9 Body Control
Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
- Test or replace the E8S Rear Compartment Courtesy Lamp

Removal Procedure
With the engine OFF, apply and release the brake pedal several times
until the pedal becomes firm to
deplete the power vacuum brake booster vacuum reserve.
Remove the battery tray. Refer to Battery Tray Replacement .
Disconnect the power vacuum brake booster vacuum sensor el
