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 high 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 B210E-BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH DTC is present, repair that code before proceeding.
Does the scan tool display B1981-POWER LIFTGATE LATCH CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT HIGH?

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. LIFTGATE LATCH CIRCUIT OPEN




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Power Liftgate Module C2 harness connector.
Measure the resistance between the (Q84) Liftgate Latch Cinch Driver circuit and the (Q85) Liftgate Latch Release Driver Circuit.
Is the resistance approximately 4.0 ohms?

No

- Go To 4

Yes

- Go To 3

3. POWER LIFTGATE MODULE




Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage between the (Q84) Liftgate Latch Cinch Driver circuit and ground in the PLG Module C2 harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?

No

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

Yes

- Go To 4

4. (Q84) LIFTGATE LATCH CINCH DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE




Disconnect the Liftgate Cinch/Release Motor harness connector.
Measure the voltage between the (Q84) Liftgate Latch Cinch Driver circuit and ground in the PLG Module C2 harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (Q84) Liftgate Latch Cinch Driver circuit for a short to voltage.
- PERFORM BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Go To 5

5. (Q85) LIFTGATE LATCH RELEASE DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE




Turn the ignition on
Measure the voltage of the (Q85) Liftgate Latch Release Driver circuit in the PLG Module C2 harness connector.
Wiggle the harness and check for an intermittent short circuit condition.
Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (Q85) Liftgate Latch Release Driver circuit for a short to voltage.
- PERFORM BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Replace the Liftgate Cinch/Release Motor Assembly.
- PERFORM BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test
