Pinpoint Tests

PINPOINT TEST A : ONE DOOR LOCK INOPERATIVE

TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
A1: CHECK OPERATION OF SUSPECT DOOR LOCK
1
Manually operate the inoperative door lock.
2
Check for stuck or binding condition.

Is the lock stuck or binding?
Yes
REPAIR the condition. If necessary INSTALL a new component.
No
A2: CHECK DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FOR LOCK OPERATION
1
Ignition switch in position 0.
2
Disconnect Inoperative Door Lock Actuator.

3
Measure the voltage between the inoperative door lock actuator electrical connector and ground while actuating the door locks to the lock position.
  • Front door - door lock actuator C1969/C1970 pin 2, circuit 32-AA59 (WH/BK), and ground.
  • Rear door - door lock actuator C1971/C1972 pin 2, circuit 32-AA59 (WH/BK), and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 32-AA59 (WH/BK). TEST the system for normal operation.
A3: CHECK DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FOR UNLOCK OPERATION

1
Measure the voltage between the inoperative door lock actuator electrical connector and ground while actuating the door locks to the unlock position:
  • Front door - door lock actuator C1969/C1970 pin 1, circuit 33-AA59 (YE/BK), and ground.
  • Rear door - door lock actuator C1971/C1972 pin 1, circuit 33-AA59 (YE/BK), and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
INSTALL a new door lock actuator.
REFER to Front Door Latch /
Rear Door Latch in this section.
TEST the system for normal operation.
No
REPAIR circuit 33-AA59 (YE/BK). TEST the system for normal operation.

PINPOINT TEST B : ALL DOOR LOCKS INOPERATIVE

TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
B1: CHECK FUSE 25 (20A)
1
CHECK Fuse 25 (20A).
2
CHECK Fuse 30 (7.5A).

Is the fuse OK?
Yes
No
INSTALL a new fuse. TEST the system for normal operation. If fuse fails again, CHECK for short to ground.
B2: CHECK ANTI-THEFT/CENTRAL LOCKING MODULE FOR BATTERY VOLTAGE
1
Disconnect Anti-Theft/Central Locking Module C1966a.

2
Measure the voltage between the anti-theft/central locking module C1966a pin 1, circuit 29-AA17 (OG/WH), harness side and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 29-AA17 (OG/WH). TEST the system for normal operation.
B3: CHECK ANTI-THEFT/CENTRAL LOCKING MODULE FOR IGNITION VOLTAGE

1
Measure the voltage between the anti-theft/central locking module C1966a pin 10, circuit 14-AA17 (VT/WH), harness side and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 14-AA17 (VT/WH). TEST the system for normal operation.
B4: CHECK ANTI-THEFT/CENTRAL LOCKING MODULE FOR GROUND

1
Measure resistance between anti-theft/central locking module C1966a pin 5, circuit 31-AA17 (BK), harness side and ground.

Is resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
INSTALL a new power door lock actuators.
REFER to Front Door Latch /
Rear Door Latch in this section.
TEST the system for normal operation.
No
REPAIR circuit 31-AA17 (BK). TEST the system for normal operation.

PINPOINT TEST C : THE LIFTGATE LOCK - INOPERATIVE

TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
C1: CHECK LIFTGATE LOCK ACTUATOR FOR VOLTAGE
1
Disconnect Liftgate Lock Actuator C844.

2
Measure the voltage between the liftgate lock actuator C844 pin 3, circuit 29S-AA27 (OG/BK), harness side and ground.

Is voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 29S-AA27 (OG/BK). TEST the system for normal operation.
C2: CHECK LIFTGATE LOCK ACTUATOR FOR GROUND

1
Measure the resistance between the liftgate lock actuator C844 pin 1, circuit 31-AA27 (BK), harness side and ground.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 31-AA27 (BK). TEST the system for normal operation.
C3: CHECK THE LIFTGATE LOCK ACTUATOR

1
Measure the resistance between the liftgate lock actuator C844 pin 3, circuit 29S-AA27 (OG/BK), harness side and pin 1, circuit 31-AA27 (BK), harness side and between the liftgate lock actuator C844 pin 3, circuit 29S-AA27 (OG/BK), harness side and pin 2.

Is the resistance between pin 3 and pin 1 between 0.5 and 9 ohms and less than 5 ohms between pin 3 and pin 2?
Yes
REPAIR circuit 29S-AA27 (OG/BK). TEST the system for normal operation.
No
INSTALL a new liftgate lock actuator. TEST the system for normal operation.
