Module, Power Liftgate Control (PLGM): Description
Vehicles equipped with the power operated liftgate are equipped with a Power Liftgate Module (PLGM) (1). The PLGM is concealed behind the left rear quarter trim panel.
The PLGM (1) is secured by two integral mounting tabs and an integral latch tab to slots in the sheet metal. Two connector receptacles integral to the PLGM housing are connected to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take outs and connectors of the body wire harness.
Concealed and protected within the molded plastic housing of the PLGM is the printed circuit board and the other electronic circuitry of the module. The module communicates with other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network-Interior High Speed (CAN-IHS) bus system.
A PLGM cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced. The PLGM software is flash programmable.
