Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON.
- Liftgate Closed, verify the scan tool Rear Gate Latch Unlatch Switch, Rear Gate Latch Primary Switch, and Rear Gate Latch Neutral Switch parameters are as listed below:
- Rear Gate Latch Unlatch Switch parameter Inactive
- Rear Gate Latch Primary Switch parameter Inactive
- Rear Gate Latch Neutral Switch parameter Inactive
- If any of the parameters are not as listed
Refer to DTC B1584, B1ABB, or B1ABC - Liftgate Latch Switches Malfunction .
- Go to next step: If the parameters are as listed
- Verify the A23C Liftgate Latch will activate and release the liftgate when pressing the appropriate button on the keyless entry transmitter twice
- If the A23C Liftgate Latch does not activate
- Go to next step: If the A23C Liftgate Latch does activate
- Raise the liftgate to the fully open position, verify the scan tool parameter Rear Gate Travel is greater than 70%
- If not the specified value or the parameter does not change
Refer to DTC B1589 or B158A - Liftgate Angle Sensor Malfunction .
- Go to next step: If greater than the specified value
- If not the specified value or the parameter does not change
- Liftgate Open, verify the scan tool Rear Gate Anti-pinch Sensor Raw Voltage parameter is between 3 V-3.5 V.
- If not between 3 V-3.5 V
- Go to next step: If between 3 V-3.5 V
- Liftgate Open, verify the scan tool Rear Gate Latch Unlatch Switch, Rear Gate Latch Primary Switch, and Rear Gate Latch Neutral Switch parameters are as listed below:
- Rear Gate Latch Unlatch Switch Status parameter Active
- Rear Gate Latch Primary Switch Status parameter Active
- Rear Gate Latch Neutral Switch Status parameter Inactive
- If any of the parameter are not as listed
Refer to DTC B1584, B1ABB, or B1ABC - Liftgate Latch Switches Malfunction .
- Go to next step: If the parameters are as listed
- Liftgate closed and latched, verify the A23C Liftgate Latch will activate and release the liftgate when pressing the E7AC Rear License Plate Lamp Module.
- If the liftgate does not release when pressing the E7AC Rear License Plate Lamp Module
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Test 1
- Go to next step: If the liftgate does release when pressing the E7AC Rear License Plate Lamp Module
- If the liftgate does not release when pressing the E7AC Rear License Plate Lamp Module
- Verify the scan tool Rear Gate Close Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive when pressing the B70 Liftgate Close Switch.
- If the parameter does not change
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Test 2
- Go to next step: If the parameter changes
- If the parameter does not change
- Verify the liftgate will perform the power open and power close functions when pressing the B70 Liftgate Close Switch.
- If the liftgate does not power open or power close and sets DTC B158B or DTC B158C
Refer to DTC B158B or B158C - Liftgate Motor Power Open/Close Malfunction
- Go to next step: If the liftgate does power open and close
- If the liftgate does not power open or power close and sets DTC B158B or DTC B158C
- Rotate the S45B Liftgate Control Switch - Interior to the Max setting
- Operate the component: S45B Liftgate Control Switch - Interior - Pressed
Verify the Power Liftgate (TB5) performs the power open or the power close function
- If the Power Liftgate (TB5) does not perform the power open or the power close function
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Test 3
- Go to next step: If the Power Liftgate (TB5) performs the power open or the power close function
- If the Power Liftgate (TB5) does not perform the power open or the power close function
- Rotate the S45B Liftgate Control Switch - Interior to the Off setting
Operate the component: E7AC Rear License Plate Lamp Module - Pressed
Verify the Power Liftgate (TB5) power open function has been disabled
- If the Power Liftgate (TB5) activates and performs the power open function
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Test 4
- Go to next step: If the Power Liftgate (TB5) power open function has been disabled
- If the Power Liftgate (TB5) activates and performs the power open function
- Rotate the S45B Liftgate Control Switch - Interior to the 3/4 setting
Operate the component: E7AC Rear License Plate Lamp Module - Pressed
Verify the Power Liftgate (TB5) power opens and stops at the garage mode position
- If the Power Liftgate (TB5) only opens and stops at the full open position
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Test 4
- Go to next step: If the Power Liftgate (TB5) power opens and stops at the garage mode position
- If the Power Liftgate (TB5) only opens and stops at the full open position
- A fault is not currently present and may be an intermittent condition
