OPERATION

NOTE: Power latch "Cinching" will become disabled if the pinch sensors are inoperable or damaged.

Operating on hardwired inputs from the power liftgate control module, the power liftgate latch mounted actuator (cinch/release motor) provides the torque required to close the liftgate from the secondary to the primary closed and latched position. The actuator also releases the liftgate from the primary closed and latched position to the fully unlatched and movable position.

Following every cinch or release sequence, the power liftgate latch will return to a "home" or neutral position. If for some reason the latch is unable to return to the "home" position, the power liftgate control module will recognize this and prevent the latch from releasing. If this condition exists, activation of the power liftgate feature or exterior handle will result in a short beep from the power liftgate chime. In this situation, perform the Power Liftgate Latch Homing Procedure, Power Liftgate Latch Homing.
