Calibration Criteria

Important: To ensure proper calibration of the liftgate module, the liftgate system must be at room temperature during the calibration procedure.

Power liftgate calibration must be performed after any of the liftgate system components have been disconnected, disassembled, repaired, or replaced.

  2. Install a scan tool.
  3. Clear All DTCs before proceeding.
  4. Navigate to the Liftgate Module menu.
  5. Select Module Setup menu item.
