Power Liftgate Learn Cycle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2002 Dodge Caravan, 2002 Chrysler Voyager, and 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Any time a power liftgate component is removed, replaced or a liftgate adjustment is performed a learn cycle must be performed. This learn cycle enables the power liftgate control module to learn or relearn information (travel limits, resistance to door travel, etc.) which allows it to perform properly and safely. To perform a learn cycle:

Obtain a DRB-III(R) scan tool.
Connect the DRB-III(R) to the vehicle and check for any power liftgate system stored trouble codes, correct and erase any stored codes.
Using the DRB-III(R), go into Test Routine Menu and select the power open command.
Select the power close command.
The liftgate learn cycle is complete.

If a DRB-III(R) scan tool is not available, the learn cycle can be performed by actuating the liftgate by using any of the normal command switches. Be certain to cycle the liftgate through a complete open and close cycle before returning the vehicle to service.
