DTC B1451:02 (POWER LIFTGATE CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) LATCH SWITCH CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  • Disconnect the power liftgate (PLG) latch switch connector.
  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
  • Is the connector normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.
2 INSPECT RETURN SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Verify that the power liftgate (PLG) latch switch connector is disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between power liftgate (PLG) latch switch terminal C (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between power liftgate (PLG) latch switch terminal C and body ground.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 8.
3 INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Disconnect the power liftgate (PLG) control module connector.
  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
  • Is the connector normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.
4 INSPECT RETURN SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
  • Verify that the power liftgate (PLG) latch switch and power liftgate (PLG) control module connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between power liftgate (PLG) latch switch terminal E (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between power liftgate (PLG) latch switch terminal E and power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1T.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT RETURN SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY 
  • Verify that the power liftgate (PLG) latch switch and power liftgate (PLG) control module connectors are disconnected.
  • Connect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
  • Measure the voltage at the power liftgate (PLG) latch switch terminal E (wiring harness-side).
  • Is the voltage 0 V?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between power liftgate (PLG) latch switch terminal E and power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1T.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to Step 8.
6 INSPECT RETURN SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  • Verify that the power liftgate (PLG) latch switch and power liftgate (PLG) control module connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between power liftgate (PLG) latch switch terminal E (wiring harness-side) and power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1T (wiring harness-side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between power liftgate (PLG) latch switch terminal E and power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1T.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 8.
7 INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) LATCH SWITCH  Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the power liftgate (PLG) latch switch, then go to the next step.
(See LIFTGATE LATCH AND LOCK ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
8 VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED  Yes Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
Go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
9 VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED 
  • Are any other DTCs displayed?
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
(See DTC TABLE [POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE] .)
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
