Description And Operation: Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Chrysler Voyager and 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Power latch "Cinching" will become disabled if the pinch sensors are inoperable or damaged.

The liftgate latch:

operates on hardwired inputs from the Power Liftgate control Module (PLGM).
mounted actuator (cinch/release motor) provides the torque required to close the liftgate from the secondary to the primary closed and latched position.
actuator also releases the liftgate from the primary closed and latched position to the fully unlatched and movable position.

Following every cinch or release sequence, the power liftgate latch will return to a "home" or neutral position. If for some reason the latch is unable to return to the "home" position, the PLGM will recognize this and prevent the latch from releasing. If this condition exists, activation of the power liftgate feature or exterior handle will result in a short beep from the power liftgate chime. In this situation, perform the "Latch Home Sector" procedure. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
