1. Liftgate Switch Malfunction 2. Liftgate Malfunction |
The full open switch is part of the gear motor assembly and will close and become active when the liftgate reaches the full open position. The full open switch signal circuit is supplied battery voltage through a resistor and monitored within the liftgate control module. The liftgate control module (LGM) provides a low reference circuit and when the switch contacts close, the signal circuit goes low and the LGM determines the switch to be active.
• | The system voltage is 9-16 volts. |
• | Power open or close operation is attempted. |
The LGM detects a short to ground in the full open switch signal circuit
The LGM detects an open/high resistance in the full open switch signal circuit.
The power liftgate will not power close.
• | The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present. |
• | When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles. |
Whenever the LGM loses power or is disconnected, the ignition must be cycled OFF then ON in order to reactivate the LGM.
Liftgate Description and Operation
Control Module References for scan tool information
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool LGM Full Open Switch while opening and closing the liftgate. The parameter should change between Active and Inactive.
⇒ | If not the specified value, replace the LGM. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the liftgate motor assembly. |
⇒ | If less than the specified value, replace the liftgate motor assembly. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
