PINPOINT TEST H: THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR IS INOPERATIVE (CHIME IS OPERATIVE)/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY


H1-H4:






Normal Operation
The instrument cluster receives the door ajar status from the vehicle security module over the communication network. When any of the doors are ajar, the door ajar switch closes, completing a ground signal to the vehicle security module. The vehicle security module monitors the door ajar status from the hardwired door ajar switches. The liftgate ajar switch input is hardwired to the vehicle security module in series through circuit 700 (WH/VT) and the liftgate glass ajar switch, circuit 1351 (TN). The door ajar switches are hardwired to the vehicle security module through circuit 761 (GY/RD) (RH front), 760 (PK/LB) (RH Rear), 759 (LG/YE) (LH rear), and 765 (YE/BK) (LH front). All of the door ajar switches are grounded through circuit 1205 (BK).
