Troubleshooting Hints

IMPORTANT: To avoid misdiagnosis, check linkage for mechanical binding which would prevent correct system operation.

1. Check Hatch Fuse for an open.
2. If Colsole Deck Lid Release Switch is inoperative, check for proper alignment of the Transmission Range Switch (Automatic Transmission).
3. Check for a clean and tight ground G401.
^ Check for a broken (or partially broken) wire inside of the insulation which could cause system malfunction but prove "GOOD" in a continuity/voltage check with a system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded, and if possible, should be checked by monitoring for a voltage drop with the system operational (under load).
^ Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems (refer to "General Troubleshooting Procedures,"). Diagnostic Aids
^ Refer to System Diagnosis.
