Test G: The Power Liftgate Does Not Power Close (Power Open OK)

PINPOINT TEST G: THE POWER LIFTGATE DOES NOT POWER CLOSE (POWER OPEN OK)

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.

- DTC B2701 Left Pinch Strip Stuck Inactive - If defected pinch strip or pinch strip terminal is shorted to ground, the PLG module will set this DTC.
- DTC B2702 Right Pinch Strip Stuck Inactive - If defected pinch strip or pinch strip terminal is shorted to ground, the PLG module will set this DTC.

NOTE: Initialize the PLG before proceeding with this pinpoint test. Refer to Power Liftgate Initialization. Programming and Relearning
