Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The full open switch is part of the gear motor assembly and will close and become active when the liftgate reaches the full open position. The full
open switch signal circuit is supplied battery voltage through a resistor and monitored within the liftgate control module. The liftgate control
module (LGM) provides a low reference circuit and when the switch contacts close, the signal circuit goes low and the LGM determines the switch
to be active.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The system voltage is 9-16 volts.
* Power open or close operation is attempted.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
