5. Disconnect Tab Relay Black and Blue from main PCB. Measure resistance between NA8-pin8 (GN) and chassis ground screw. Is resistance < 1Ω?
- 6
6. If NO → Check all wiring harness connections, wire and ground screws.
- 7
7. If YES → Disconnect BL2-pin3 (YL) and Black tab relay from main PCB. Measure resistance between BL2-pin3(YL) and Black wire(pin2) on black tab relay connector. Is resistance <1Ω with door closed and ∞Ω with door open?
