2		No	Replace the taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) bulb (LH), then go to Step 10. (See TAILLIGHT BULB REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
3	INSPECT TAILLIGHT (TRUNK LID LIGHT (4SD)/LIFTGATE LIGHT (WGN)) BULB (RH) (BULB TYPE ONLY) • Inspect the taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) bulb (RH). • Is the taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) bulb (RH) normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Replace the taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) bulb (RH), then go to Step 10. (See TAILLIGHT BULB REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4	INSPECT LICENSE PLATE LIGHT BULB (LH) • Inspect the license plate light bulb (LH). • Is the license plate light bulb (LH) normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Replace the license plate light bulb (LH), then go to Step 10. (See LICENSE PLATE LIGHT BULB REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5	INSPECT LICENSE PLATE LIGHT BULB (RH) • Inspect the license plate light bulb (RH). • Is the license plate light bulb (RH) normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Replace the license plate light bulb (RH), then go to Step 10. (See LICENSE PLATE LIGHT BULB REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
6	INSPECT CONNECTORS • Switch the ignition to off. • Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITHOUT i-stop)].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].) • Disconnect the following connectors and inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. ― Front body control module (FBCM) ― Taillight (rear combination light) (LH) ― Taillight (rear combination light) (RH) ― Taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) (LH) ― Taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) (RH) ― License plate light (LH) ― License plate light (RH) • Are all connectors normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Repair or replace the malfunctioning connector, then go to Step 10.
7	INSPECT FOR SHORT TO GROUND IN LICENSE PLATE LIGHT/TAILLIGHT CIRCUIT • Verify that the following connectors are disconnected: ― Front body control module (FBCM) ― Taillight (rear combination light) (LH) ― Taillight (rear combination light) (RH) ― Taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) (LH) ― Taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) (RH) ― License plate light (LH) ― License plate light (RH) • Inspect for continuity between front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I (wiring harness-side) and body ground. • Is there continuity?	Yes	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: • Taillight (rear combination light) (LH) terminal B—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I • Taillight (rear combination light) (RH) terminal B—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I • Taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) (LH) terminal A—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I • Taillight (trunk lid light (4SD)/liftgate light (WGN)) (RH) terminal A—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I • License plate light (LH) terminal A—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I • License plate light (RH) terminal A—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground. Go to Step 10.
7		No	Go to the next step.
