Passive Open Tailgate

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT and 2015 Hyundai Elantra GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Pressing the Trunk Lid Switch when trunk is closed indicates the operator's intent to open the trunk and thus triggers the system. Subsequently, the SMK ECU sends a LF-challenge to the SMART KEY FOB via the exterior bumper antenna. The SMART KEY FOB answers with a RF-response. If the received response matches the expected answer, SMK ECU sends a "Trunk Open" message via the CAN network.
