Current too high. Intermittent fault

Checking connectors and wiring




- Check control module connector D for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
- Ignition on.
Connect a voltmeter between control module connector D1 and ground, front lock motor.
Measure for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
Remedy as necessary.

Was a short-circuit found?

Yes - DONE Fault-tracing information

No - Checking wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking wiring




- Check that the micro-switch appears normal.
- Ignition on.
- Read off status for the front locking arm micro-switch, rear position.
- Operate the micro-switch manually.
The status should change from activation (micro-switch on) to non activation (micro-switch off).

Other information:
- To access / replace the front locking arm micro-switch, rear position, see Replacing and adjusting micro-switches Replacing and Adjusting Micro-Switches.
- There is a short-circuit to ground if the status is constantly low.
- If the status is constantly high there is an open-circuit or a short-circuit to ground.

Hint: The micro-switch can be activated by hand or using a pointed tool. Be careful.





Does the status change?

Yes - DONE Fault-tracing information

No - Checking component

-------------------------------------------------

Checking component




- Check control module connector C for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
- Ignition on.
Connect a voltmeter between micro-switch 3 and ground.
Activate the micro-switch manually so that it is active throughout the test
Measure for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
Replace the micro-switch if a short-circuit is found.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: The micro-switch can be activated by hand or using a pointed tool. Be careful.

Was a short-circuit found?

Yes - DONE Fault-tracing information

No - Checking for an open-circuit in the micro-switch

-------------------------------------------------

Checking for an open-circuit in the micro-switch




- Check control module connector C and micro-switch connector for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
- Ignition off.
Connect an ohmmeter between micro-switch 3 and 4.
Activate the micro-switch manually so that it is active throughout the test.
Check for an intermittent open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
If an open-circuit is found, replace the front locking arm micro-switch, rear position.
If no fault is found there is probably a fault in the cable between the control module and the micro-switch connector.
Remedy as necessary.

Information

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
