Description And Operation: Description: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Hyundai Tucson. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Power Liftgate system is an electro-mechanical system that can open and close the liftgate automatically, by using local switch (push button switch inside of the liftgate, and outside handle switch), and wireless remote key (FOB), or can halt the liftgate. The Power Lift Gate Module (PLGM) sends and receives the vehicle's information via BCM, instrument panel, SJB and CAN communication, so that it can decide the opening/closing of the liftgate and self diagnosis.

There's a safety function to reverse its direction, when an obstacle is detected during the operation.

If power mode is disabled due to discharged battery or disabled Power Lift Gate Module (PLGM), manual opening/closing is possible by using the emergency lever on the liftgate latch after unlocking the liftgate.
