Power Tailgate Opening Process

  1. Opening will start after signals from crash pad lower switch, tailgate handle switch, or wireless remote key (FOB) are received.
  2. The latch motor will unlatch the tailgate by releasing the striker (via the SJB).
  3. To open the tailgate, the PTG module will activate the tailgate spindle motors.
  4. The speed of the spindle motors is monitored via a hall sensor in the motor.
  5. Opening angle of the tailgate will be calculated from the number of pulses of the hall sensor.
    CAUTION:
    • When the motor's movement is restricted PTGM will sense it as an obstacle and either reverse in opposite direction or halt the motor movement.
