Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information KVM-0060

Condition




When the opening button on the tailgate/trunk lid is affected, the switch closes. This switch indicates to the keyless vehicle module (KVM) that the customer wishes to open the trunk lid. The control module then initiates a search for an authorized key.
If an authorized key is found, the keyless vehicle module (KVM) transmits a signal to the central electronic module (CEM) that opening the trunk lid is permitted. The central electronic module (CEM) activates the lock motor in the trunk lid and the trunk lid opens.
When the switch in the trunk lid is activated, a timer starts. The counter stops and is reset when the opening button is released. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the keyless vehicle module (KVM) registers that the switch has been activated for more than 5 minutes.

Substitute value
- None.

Possible source
- Switch in trunk lid faulty
- The opening button for the trunk lid has been activated for more than 5 minutes
- Short-circuit to ground in the signal cable.

Fault symptom[s]
- No locking/unlocking of the tailgate.
