1NOTE: This DTC can be set if a redundant release command is sent during
a cinching operation. In that case it would not signify a failure of any
components.
With the DRBIIIt, record and erase DTC's.
Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition on.
Operate the power liftgate several times if possible.
With the DRBIIIt, read ACTIVE DTCs.

2 Examine the liftgate for proper fit and alignment, loose/hard or torn seals, struts or
anything that would cause an obstruction to proper operation.
Manually operate the liftgate of a known good vehicle and notice the effort needed to
open and close.

Symptom:
INCOMPLETE LATCH RELEASE- PAWL SWITCH FAILURE
When Monitored and Set Condition:
INCOMPLETE LATCH RELEASE- PAWL SWITCH FAILURE
When Monitored: Whenever the power liftgate is operating in an opening direction.
Set Condition: The release operation was not completed in 4 seconds or the release
operation has detected a stall condition. The ratchet switch was detected as grounded but
the pawl remained open. This code is set during the power releasing operation from a fully
closed liftgate.

Symptom:
INCOMPLETE LATCH RELEASE- SECTOR GEAR RETURN FAIL-
URE
When Monitored and Set Condition:
INCOMPLETE LATCH RELEASE- SECTOR GEAR RETURN FAILURE
When Monitored: Whenever the power liftgate is operating.
Set Condition: If the cinch release motor takes longer than 700 ms to perform a release
operation this code will set. The main causes of this code setting is some type of sticking
situation preventing the sector gear in the cinch release motor assembly to return to its
neutral position.
