POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
the components of the power liftgate system are:
²Liftgate gear motor assembly
²Latch assembly
²Lift gear and rod
²Power liftgate control module
²Chime/thermistor
²Full open switch
²Engage actuator
²Pinch sensor
²Liftgate handle switch
²Overhead console switch
²Key fob switches (Fig. 1)
²Pawl switch
²Ratchet switch
The power liftgate system has its own power lift-
gate control module, located on the vehicles left body
D-pillar behind the trim panel. The power liftgate
gear motor assembly is located just above the control
module. The latch assembly is located in the bottom
center of the power liftgate, below the exterior lift-
gate handle switch. The power liftgate full open
switch, engage actuator, lift gear and rod are part of
the liftgate gear motor assembly. The pawl and
ratchet switches are part of the latch assembly. The
pinch sensors are located along the right and left
sides of the power liftgate, just above the body line.The liftgate handle switch is a power release switch
and is located in the rear light bar assembly, just
above the license plate. The overhead console switch
is a power open and close command switch located in
the vehicles overhead console.
Software technology has enabled the power liftgate
control module to detect resistance to liftgate travel,
which allows the power liftgate to stop and reverse
direction anytime an obstruction is felt or any of the
command switches are operated (only in closing
direction). Battery voltage is supplied to the power
liftgate system through a 40 amp fuse, located in the
Integrated Power Module (IPM) assembly. If the
power liftgate system develops a fault, the power lift-
gate can still be operated manually with a key, sim-
ilar to a manual liftgate.
The power liftgate control module communicates
on the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
Bus Circuit. Therefore, the power liftgate control
module can generate and store its own Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC). The vehicles Body Control
Module (BCM) receives and supplies messages to the
power liftgate control module via the PCI bus circuit.
A diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIItor equiv-
alent, is used to read and troubleshoot these DTCs.
Refer to the Body Diagnostic Manual for a complete
list of diagnostic routines.
For additional information, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/POWER DOORS - OPERATION). Refer to the
appropriate wiring information for complete circuit
schematic or connector pin-out information.
WARNING: BE CERTAIN TO READ ALL WARNINGS
AND CAUTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SER-
VICE OF THE POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM OR COM-
PONENTS.
OPERATION
With the push of a power liftgate open/close com-
mand switch (key fob or overhead console mounted) a
signal is sent out on the Programmable Communica-
tion Interface (PCI) Data Bus circuit. This signal is
detected at the Body Control Module (BCM). The
BCM then sends a signal out on the PCI Data Bus
circuit to the power liftgate control module. The
power liftgate control module then signals the power
liftgate motor to start an open or close cycle, depend-
ing on what position the liftgate is in.
During a liftgate open or close cycle, if the power
liftgate module detects sufficient resistance to liftgate
travel, such as an obstruction in the path of the lift-
gate, the power liftgate control module will immedi-
ately stop the liftgate movement and reverse travel
to the full open or closed position. The ability for the
power liftgate module to detect resistance to liftgate

travel is accomplished by hall effect sensors, drive
motor speed and pinch sensors (tape switches).
Anytime the liftgate is opened or closed using the
power liftgate system the power liftgate control mod-
ule learns from the cycle. If a replacement power lift-
gate component is installed or a liftgate adjustment
is made, the module will relearn the effort and/or
time required to open or close the liftgate. This learn
cycle can be performed with a DRB IIIt, or equiva-
lent scan tool, or with a complete cycle of the liftgate,
using any one of the command switches. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE) for detailed instructions.
The power liftgate system is designed with a num-
ber of system inhibitors. These inhibitors are neces-
sary for safety and / or feasibility of the power
liftgate system. The power liftgate system inhibitors
are:
²The Power Liftgate may not operate in extreme
temperatures. These extreme temperatures will be
approximately less than -12É F (-24.4É C) or greater
than 143É F (61.6É C). A chime/thermister assembly
in the rear light bar assembly monitors the outside
temperature.
²The vehicle transmission must be in Park or
Neutral for the power liftgate to start a cycle.
²If multiple obstacles are detected during the
same power open or close cycle, the liftgate goes into
manual operation.
²If severe problems occur, Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) are stored in the power liftgate control
module.
POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM CAUTIONS AND
WARNINGS
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY
NEGATIVE CABLE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM SERVICE.
WARNING: THERE IS A SMALL AREA ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE LOWER POWER LIFTGATE WHICH
IS NOT PROTECTED BY PINCH SENSORS.
EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO PREVENT
OBJECTS FROM ENTERING THIS AREA ONCE THELIFTGATE REACHES THE SECONDARY LATCH
CONTACT (APPROXIMATELY 1/2 INCH BEFORE
FULLY CLOSED).
WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO ENTER OR EXIT
THE VEHICLE WITH THE LIFTGATE IN MOTION.
YOU COULD DAMAGE THE POWER LIFTGATE SYS-
TEM AND/OR COMPONENTS AND/OR CAUSE PER-
SONAL INJURY.
WARNING: NEVER STICK OBJECTS IN THE POWER
LIFTGATE WHEN CINCHING CLOSED. YOU COULD
DAMAGE THE VEHICLE, POWER LIFTGATE SYS-
TEM COMPONENTS AND/OR CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM
The power liftgate system contains many compo-
nents and modules. In order to obtain conclusive
testing the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the power liftgate system must be checked.
The power liftgate system can be diagnosed with
an appropriate scan tool, such as the DRB IIItor
equivalent. The DRB IIItcan be used to observe var-
ious switch statuses throughout the power liftgate
system to help diagnose an inoperative switch or
component. The DRB IIItcan also be used to actuate
various components throughout the power liftgate
system to help diagnose an inoperative component.
Before any testing of the power liftgate system is
attempted, the battery should be fully charged, all
built-in power liftgate system inhibitors read and
understood, and all wire harness and ground connec-
tions inspected around the affected areas on the vehi-
cle.
The following are quick reference diagnostic tables
to help when diagnosing and testing the power lift-
gate system.

OFF and back ON with the forward-facing light sen-
sor still covered. This defeats the day-detect logic. If
OK, go to Step 8. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror
unit.
(8) With the mirror darkened, place the transmis-
sion gear selector lever in the Reverse position. The
automatic day/night mirror should return to its nor-
mal reflectance. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror
unit.
Bench testing both mirrors can be done, of care is
exercised. For an inside mirror, the pin closest to he
mount is 12V (+), the next is 12V (-). The third is
reverse override. The fourth is outside mirror (+), and
the fifth is outside mirror (-).Do not apply 12 volts to
the fourth and fifth pins.With 12 volts on pins 1 and
2, the mirror can be tested by blocking the rear sensor
and shining a light into the forward sensor. For an out-
side mirror, there is a 2±pin connector. Applying 1.2
volts will cause the mirror to dim. If the mirror does not
dim, the entire glass assembly can be replaced just as it
is when the glass is broken.
WARNING: Do not apply 12 volts to the outside mir-
ror. Damage to the mirror will result.
POWER FOLDAWAY MIRROR
SWITCH - EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
These vehicles may be equipped with Power Fold-
away Mirrors. This feature allows both the driver
and passenger side view mirrors to fold inward
(retract) on demand. The vehicle has an additional
switch located on the steering column that controls
the folding function of the mirror assembly (Fig. 2).
The fold-away side view mirror is attached to the
vehicle's door in the same manner as mirrors without
the fold-away option. The fold-away mirrors unique
option is the internal motor which allows the mirrors to
fold inward on demand. The fold-away mirror motor is
not serviceable separately and if a motor is found to be
faulty the entire side view mirror must be replaced.
OPERATION
When the mirror retract switch is depressed, both
of the side view mirrors will fold inward, Thus mak-
ing the overall width of the vehicle the smallest pos-
sible. This can be helpful were parking space is a
absolute minimum.
When the driver's door is opened, only the driver's
door mirror will unfold. If the passenger door is
opened, both mirrors will unfold.
The power fold away mirror system consists of the fol-
lowing components: mirror switch, side view mirror,relay, wires and fuse. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. The wiring information includes wiring
diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connector
pin-out information and location views for the various
wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
REMOVAL
(1)Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
(2) Remove the upper and lower steering column
shroud (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/LOWER
SHROUD - REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect electrical harness connector.
(4) Remove switch from steering column shroud

experienced, exit the vehicle for fresh air until
the irritation ceases. If irritation continues, see
a physician.
Do not use a replacement airbag that is not in
the original packaging. This may result in
improper deployment, personal injury, or
death.
The factory installed fasteners, screws and
bolts used to fasten airbag components have a
special coating and are specifically designed
for the airbag system. Do not use substitute fas-
teners. Use only original equipment fasteners
listed in the parts catalog when fastener
replacement is required.
During, and following, any child restraint
anchor service, due to impact event or vehicle
repair, carefully inspect all mounting hard-
ware, tether straps, and anchors for proper
installation, operation, or damage. If a child
restraint anchor is found damaged in any way,
the anchor must be replaced. Failure to do this
may result in personal injury or death.
Deployed and nondeployed airbags may or
may not have live pyrotechnic material within
the airbag inflator. Do not dispose of driver/
passenger/seat/curtain/knee blocker airbags or
seat belt tensioners unless you are sure of com-
plete deployment. Refer to the Hazardous Sub-
stance Control System for proper disposal.
Dispose of deployed airbags and tensioners
consistent with state, provincial, local, and fed-
eral regulations.
After any airbag component testing or ser-
vice, do not connect the battery negative cable
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIRBAG SYSTEM).
Personal injury or death may result if the sys-
tem test is not performed first.
If the vehicle is equipped with the Occupant
Classification System (OCS), do not connect the
battery negative cable before performing the
OCS Verification Test using the scan tool and
the appropriate diagnostic information. Per-
sonal injury or death may result if the system
test is not performed properly.
Never replace both the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) and the Occupant Classifica-
tion Module (OCM) at the same time. If both
require replacement, replace one, then perform
the Airbag System test (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/RESTRAINTS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
- AIRBAG SYSTEM) before replacing the other.
Both the ORC and the OCM store Occupant
Classification System (OCS) calibration data,
which they transfer to one another when one of
them is replaced. If both are replaced at thesame time, an irreversible fault will be set in
both modules and the OCS may malfunction
and cause personal injury or death.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIRBAG SYSTEM
(1) With the battery negative remote cable discon-
nected, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Con-
nector (DLC).
(2) Turn the ignition key to the ON position, then
exit vehicle with the scan tool.

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DISABLED INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS) include a Passenger Airbag Disabled
(PAD) indicator (Fig. 40) which is located in the
instrument panel center stack, above the radio. The
PAD indicator is present only in vehicles equipped
with the OCS.The PAD indicator consists of a molded plastic
housing with an integral connector at the back. An
amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the lens
causes the ªPASS AIR BAG OFFº text and icon to
appear silhouetted against an amber field through
the translucent lens when the indicator is illumi-
nated from behind by the LED. The PAD indicator is
available for separate service replacement.
OPERATION
In vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classifica-
tion System (OCS), the Passenger Airbag Disabled
(PAD) indicator gives an indication when the passen-
ger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment cir-
cuits are disabled by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC). The PAD indicator is controlled by
a transistor within the ORC through a hard wired
output based upon ORC programming and electronic
occupant classification messages received by the ORC
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus from the Occupant Classification
Module (OCM). The PAD indicator Light Emitting
Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the ORC.
The LED receives a battery current input on the
fused ignition switch output (RUN/START) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the
ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is pro-
vided a path to ground by the ORC transistor. The
ORC will turn on the PAD indicator for the following
reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position the PAD indicator is illu-
minated for about six seconds.
²Child Seat Detected Occupant Classifica-
tion Message- Each time the ORC receives a mes-
sage from the OCM indicating a child seat has been
detected in the passenger front seat, the passenger
airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits
are deactivated and the PAD indicator will be illumi-
nated. The indicator remains illuminated until the
ORC receives an occupant classification message
indicating that:
²The passenger front seat is empty.
²The seat is occupied by a load equal to or
greater than a fifth percentile female.
²OR,Until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever of these three occurs first.
²Load Less Than Fifth Percentile Female
Occupant Classification Message- Each time the
ORC receives a message from the OCM indicating
that a load less than a fifth percentile female has
been detected in the passenger front seat, the pas-
senger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment cir-
cuits are deactivated and the PAD indicator will be
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until:
