Liftgate Latch Release

The liftgate latch can be released when the vehicle is in PARK by:

• electronically unlocking the doors and then pressing the exterior liftgate release switch.
• pressing the liftgate button on a valid programmed IKT (if equipped) or passive key (if equipped) and then pressing the exterior liftgate release switch within 45 seconds.

The BCM sends a voltage signal to the liftgate release switch. When the liftgate release button 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 liftgate latch can also be released using the passive entry feature. Refer to Liftgate Passive Entry
