B1980-POWER LIFTGATE LATCH CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT LOW





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical

- When Monitored:
Anytime the Power Liftgate is in a latch cinch or release operation.

- Set Condition:
When the liftgate latch motor cinch or release output is pulled low prior to or during a latch cinch or release operation, this code will set.





Diagnostic Test

1. DTC PRESENT
With the scan tool, record and erase DTC's.
Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition on.
Operate the power liftgate several times if possible.
With the scan tool, read DTCs.
If the B210D-BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW DTC is present, repair that code before proceeding.
Does the scan tool display B1980-POWER LIFTGATE LATCH CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT LOW?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for an intermittent condition. Operate the liftgate several times and check for any binding conditions in the latch assembly.
- PERFORM BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

2. BINDING LIFTGATE LATCH
Examine the liftgate for proper alignment, worn or binding hinges, latch alignment or anything that would cause an obstruction to proper operation.
With an open liftgate, manually close the latch and open it with the handle switch several times.
Were there any mechanical problems found?

Yes

- Repair accordingly.

7. CHECK THE POWER LIFTGATE LATCH CINCH DRIVER




Turn the ignition off.
Reconnect the Power Liftgate Module C2 harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
While using the scan tool to actuate the Power Liftgate Latch Cinch motor, measure the voltage between the (Q84) Liftgate Latch Cinch Driver circuit and ground.
Is the voltage above 12 volts?

No

- Replace the Power Liftgate Module.
- PERFORM BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

Yes

- Go To 8

8. CHECK THE POWER LIFTGATE LATCH RELEASE DRIVER




Turn the ignition on
While using the scan tool to actuate the Power Liftgate Latch Release Motor, measure the voltage between the (Q85) Liftgate Latch Release Driver circuit and ground.
Is the voltage above 12 volts?

No

- Replace the Power Liftgate Module.
- PERFORM BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

Yes

- Replace the Liftgate Cinch/Release Motor Assembly.
