Liftgate Release

NOTE: For information regarding the power liftgate, refer to BODY CLOSURES

The BCM sends a voltage signal to the liftgate release switch. When the liftgate release switch is pressed, the voltage signal is routed to ground, indicating a request to release the liftgate latch. The BCM momentarily provides voltage to the liftgate latch to actuate the release motor.

The BCM releases the liftgate latch only when the doors are electronically unlocked and the vehicle is in PARK when a request is detected from the liftgate release switch.

The liftgate latch can also be released with a programmed RKE transmitter if the vehicle speed is 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or less.
