2007 KIA CARNIVAL Workshop Manual

2.When the power ON/OFF button (PWR) (B) is ON, the power sliding door and power tailgate can be opened and
closed automatically by using the switch.
3. When the power tail gate door will power open/close fully, the warning lamp and the chime will operate 3 times.
4. General rules for chime functions
a. Chime & tail lamp shall operate prior to and during power opening or closing the Tailgate : 3 Times (0.5 sec on,
0.5 sec off), after 1 chime start opening or closing with two chimes.
b. Chime shall operate when a power operation cannot be performed as requested except handle pull : 1 Time
(Duration 0.5 second on)
c. Chime shall operate when an obstacle has been detected : 3 Times (0.5 sec on, 0.5 sec off)
d. Chime shall operate if PTG has not reached primary latch position after a power cinch cycle : 3 Times (0.5 sec
on, 0.5 sec off)
POWER TAIL GATE OPERATING CONDITION
1.The tail gate will not power open when vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h) or the gearshift lever is not in P
(Park) for automatic transaxle.
2. The power tail gate will not open with the transmitter or the main control button when all power sliding doors are
locked and closed.
3. The power tail gate will detect the resistance, then stop movement or move to the full open position to allow the
object to be cleared.
4. If the automatic stop and reversal feature operates continuously more than twice during one opening or closing
operation, the power tail gate may stop at that position. At this time, close the tailgate manually and operate the
tailgate automatically again.
5. The PTG system is an electronic device and requires a minimum battery voltage to operate. The Electronic Control
Unit (ECU) monitors the battery voltage present at the ECU input battery input and will not permit operation if the
battery voltage is out of range.
6. If the PTG button is pressed during closing operation, the power tail gate may reverse direction and open fully.
7. Remove the accumulated snow or ice on the power tail gate before operating.
a.To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the power sliding door and power tailgate at
open position for a long time.
b. The PTGM will go to a sleep mode and power operation will be disabled if the tail gate is left open longer
than 6 hours.
Manually close the tail gate to the latched position to reset the PTGM. Power operation will be restored.
a.Always disconnect the negative battery cable before attempting any power tailgate system service.
b. Never attempt to enter or exit the vehicle with the tailgate in motion. You could be injured or cause
damage to the power tailgate system and or components.

POWER OPERATION
The PTG system shall not open the Tailgate when the vehicle is moving.
The PTG system shall operate through the full range of Tailgate travel.
The PTG system shall learn the position of each travel extreme: full open and full closed.
1.Vehicle condition
Moving
a. (IGN=OFF and Vehicle Speed > 5 km/h) or (IGN= ON and (Vehicle Speed > 5 km/h or TRANS - not P/N))
Not moving a. (IGN=OFF and Vehicle Speed < 5 km/h) or (IGN= ON and (Vehicle Speed < 5 km/h and TRANS - P/N))
2. TAILGATE TRAVEL ZONES
The Tailgate travel is divided into four zones starting at the full closed and latched position. Dimensions are at the
bottom edge of the Tailgate and are approximate.
Zone 1 : Power Latching - from primary to secondary latch (0 to 10 mm depending on latch travel).
Zone 2 : Between Secondary and Crossover Point (Secondary to 20 degrees)
Zone 3 : Between Crossover Point and Power Off (20 degrees to 79 degrees)
Zone 4 : Power Off to Full Open - approximately 5° (15 counts from full open)

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER TAILGATE SYSTEM
The power tailgate system is a complex system containing many components. In order to perform conclusive testing,
or receive outputs the power tailgate control module must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the power tailgate system requires the use of a scan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual. The scan tool can be used to observe current switch status
recorded in the power tailgate control module to help the technician diagnose an inoperative switch.
Before any testing of the power tailgate system is attempted, the battery should be fully charged, all power tailgate
system inhibitors read and understood (Refer to power tailgate system description for list).
Following are quick reference diagnostic tables to help when diagnosing and testing the power tailgate system.
