NOTE: For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS - 3.0L article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Perform TEST VER-1 after each repair.
  1. Disconnect right front door ajar switch connector. Check condition of connector and clean or repair connector as necessary. If connector is okay, go to next step.
  2. If scan tool displays RF DOOR AJAR OPEN, replace right front door ajar switch. If scan tool does not display RF DOOR AJAR OPEN, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Body Control Module (BCM) Natural connector. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of BCM Natural connector terminal No. 1 (Tan/Red wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace BCM. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  4. If vehicle is not equipped with Vehicle Theft Security System Alarm (VTSS), repair short to ground in Tan/Red wire. If vehicle is equipped with VTSS, disconnect VTSS module. VTSS module is located behind glove box. Go to next step.
  5. Check resistance of BCM Natural connector terminal No. 1 (Tan/Red wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace VTSS module. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Tan/Red wire.
