Power Liftgate Opening Process

  1. Opening will start after signals from crash pad lower switch, liftgate handle switch, or wireless remote key(FOB) are received.
  2. The latch motor will unlatch the liftgate by releasing the striker (via the SJB).
  3. To open the liftgate, the PTG module will activate the liftgate spindle motors.
  4. The speed of the spindle motors is monitored via a hall sensor in the motor.
  5. Opening angle of the liftgate will be calculated from the number of pulses of the hall sensor.
CAUTION:
  • When the motor's movement is restricted PTGM will sense it as an obstacle and either reverse in opposite direction or halt the motor movement.
