Diagnosis and Testing

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Section 413-09, for schematic and connector information.

Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Chart

Mechanical Electrical
  • Door ajar switch
  • Safety belt minder buckle switch
  • Wiring harness
  • Loose or corroded connector(s)
  • Switch(es)
  1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  1. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

Diagnostic Test Mode

The central timer module (CTM) is equipped with a self diagnostic feature. The feature will allow you to actuate three of the CTM outputs. Actuate the outputs one at a time in the following order:

  • Turn the wipers to position 1
  • Illuminate the heated rear window switch indicator
  • Illuminate the interior lamp

To prepare the vehicle for the Self-Diagnostic Mode, turn the windshield wiper switch to position 1, turn the interior lamp switch to the 12 SEC position and close both doors. To enter the Self-Diagnostic Mode press and hold the heated rear window switch while turning the ignition key to the ON position, release the heated rear window switch. The CTM will now enter the Self-Diagnostic Mode and wait for a command to activate the three outputs. Use the heated rear window switch to turn ON and then OFF each of the three CTM outputs.

To exit the Self-Diagnostic Mode, turn the ignition key OFF.
