Test F: The Power Liftgate Does Not Operate Correctly - Pinch Strip Does Not Stop/Reverse The Liftgate

PINPOINT TEST F: THE POWER LIFTGATE DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY - PINCH STRIP DOES NOT STOP/REVERSE THE LIFTGATE

Normal Operation
When the power liftgate (PLG) moves in the close direction, the PLG module monitors the pinch strips and position sensor for obstacle detection. The PLG module uses a 5-volt reference signal on circuit CPR52 (YE/VT) and a return signal on circuit RPR52 (VT/GY) for the left pinch strip. The PLG module uses a 5-volt reference signal on circuit CPR51 (YE/OG) and a return signal on circuit RPR52 (VT/GY) for the right pinch strip. The right and left pinch strip return signal circuits are spliced together.
