INSTALLATION





WARNING: Use extreme caution when testing pinch sensor operation.

1. Route the pinch sensor wire harness through the hole in the liftgate. Push the wire harness grommet (5) into place until fully seated.
2. Position the pinch sensor (1) onto the liftgate (2) and install the retaining screws (3). Working from the bottom of the liftgate up, install the second screw first and then the third and fourth. Finish by installing the bottom screw last. Tighten all screws to 2 Nm (25 in. lbs.).
3. Connect the pinch sensor wire harness connector (4).
4. Install the liftgate lower trim panel, Liftgate Trim Panel - Installation.
5. Connect the battery negative cable.
6. Using an appropriate scan tool, check and erase any power liftgate control module diagnostic trouble codes related to the pinch sensor.
7. Verify power liftgate system and pinch sensor operation. Cycle the power liftgate through one complete open and close cycle, during the final close cycle press the pinch sensor to verify the power liftgate detects an obstruction and returns to the full open position.
