Power Tailgate Procedure
- Closing will start after signals from crash pad switch, tailgate inner switch, or wireless remote key (FOB) are received.
- To close the tailgate, the PTGM will operate the Spindle motors.
- The PTGM monitors the Closing angle of the tailgate by counting the pulses from the hall sensors.
- The tailgate latch is put on the striker, and if the seal force is not too weak the latch will be on the Half Lock position. (latch full open → latch half lock)
- After the Half Lock switch signal from the latch is received, PTGM will stop the tailgate spindle motor operation.
- PTGM will engage voltage to PCU and the PCU will start cinching operation until PTGM receives Full Lock signal from the latch.
- The tailgate is fully closed, and the latch is fully locked.
