Test C: The Power Liftgate - Stops In Secondary Latch Position (does Not Pull Into Primary Latch Position)

PINPOINT TEST C: THE POWER LIFTGATE DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY - STOPS IN SECONDARY LATCH POSITION (DOES NOT PULL INTO PRIMARY LATCH POSITION)

Normal Operation
When the power liftgate (PLG) moves in the close direction, the PLG module monitors the detent switch, secondary forkbolt switch and the primary forkbolt switch. When the combination of signals is received that indicates the liftgate has reached the secondary latch position, the PLG module supplies 12 volts to the unlatch/cinching motor on circuit CPR61 (BN) and ground on circuit CPR62 (WH/BU). The unlatch/cinching motor rotates the latch mechanism which pulls the liftgate into primary latch position.

- DTC B2019 Liftgate Exceeded Time Allowed to Cinch Door - If the cinching sequence has been active for more than 5 seconds, the PLG module will set this DTC.
- DTC B2908 Latch Switch Invalid - If switch signals are invalid at start of self-test or no signal transitions during releasing/cinching, the PLG module will set this DTC.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Liftgate alignment
- Latch striker alignment
- PLG latch
- PLG module
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
