The LGM detects an open/high resistance in the full open switch signal circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The power liftgate will not power close.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.
* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.
Diagnostic Aids
Important: Before testing can be performed the liftgate must be opened. Refer to Opening the Liftgate Without Electrical Power (See:
Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Service and Repair/Procedures) for the appropriate procedure.
Whenever the LGM loses power or is disconnected, the ignition must be cycled OFF then ON in order to reactivate the LGM.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool LGM Full Open Switch while opening and closing the liftgate. The parameter should change between Active
and Inactive.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the LGM.
2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool LGM Full Open Switch parameter is Inactive.
瀚慖f not the specified value, replace the LGM.
3. Liftgate OPEN, test for less than 1 ohm between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the ground circuit terminal 6.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, replace the liftgate motor assembly.
4. Liftgate CLOSED, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the ground circuit terminal 6.
瀚慖f less than the specified value, replace the liftgate motor assembly.
5. If all circuits test normal, replace the LGM.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
