Liftgate Intelligent Access (IA) Feature

The liftgate IA  feature allows the liftgate to be opened without using the interior liftgate open/close switch or an RKE  command. With a programmed IA  key within 1 m (3 ft) outside of the liftgate, press the exterior liftgate switch, and the liftgate opens. When the RFA  module detects a signal from the exterior liftgate switch, it activates the low frequency antenna in the rear bumper cover. The low frequency antenna sends out a signal to the IA  key. The low frequency signal activates the IA  key and the IA  key then sends a high frequency signal back to the TPM  module. The TPM  module interprets the high frequency signal from the IA  key and sends the information to the RFA  module. If the RFA  module determines that it is a programmed key, it sends a message to the Liftgate/Trunk Module (LTM) over the MS-CAN  . When the LTM  receives an open request message, it opens the liftgate. For operation of the power liftgate and its components, refer to BODY CLOSURES .
