Unlatch/Cinching Motor

The latch uses a bi-directional motor to accomplish both unlatch and cinch operations. The motor is driven in one direction to unlatch and in the opposite direction to cinch.

During an unlatch operation, power is supplied to the unlatch/cinching motor by the RGTM when a valid command is received.

During a cinch operation, power is supplied to the unlatch/cinching motor by the RGTM when the secondary latch position is reached when manually closing the liftgate. When the motor activates, it pulls the liftgate into the primary latch position. When the primary latch position is reached, the RGTM reverses the polarity to the unlatch/cinching motor until it reaches a neutral position.
