ADJUSTMENT
POWER TAIL GATE INITIALIZATION
POWER TAILGATE SYSTEM RESET
Certain conditions may require that the PTG system be reset. 1. Remove the MEMORY fuse that provides logic power to the PTGM.
2. Wait 1 minute. Replace fuse. Initialize the PTGM.
INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
The Power Tailgate system initialization must start from the full closed or latched position. The Tailgate must be
powered Open once to fully initialize the system (Obstacle detection shall be active during Tailgate initialization).
1. Manually close and latch the Tailgate.
2. Power the Tailgate open using the Open/Close switch, outside handle or the remote control.
ALTERNATE METHOD
1.Remove the black connector (J2) from the PTGM.
2. Wait a short time. Replace connector. Initialize PTGM.
a.The PTG system initialization must start from the primary or secondary latched position.
b. Obstacle detection shall be active during system initialization.

INSPECTION
POWER TAILGATE MOTOR INSPECTION
1. Check the power tailgate motor by using the diagnostic tool.
2. Select a vehicle type and "BODY CONTROL MODULE(BCM)".
3.Select the "REAR AREA MODULE"
4.Select the "ACTUATION TEST" and "PTG OPEN/CLOSE" to operate tailgate motor.
5.If there is no working in actuator, change the drive unit.
OPTICAL SENSOR INSPECTION
1.Check the power tailgate control module input/output value by using the diagnostic tool. If the operation of tailgate
control module is abnormal, replace power tailgate drive unit.
2. When checking the optical sensor, select a vehicle type and "POWER SLIDING/TAILGATE" menu.
Page 1379 of 1575
3.Select "POWER TAIL GATE".
4.Select the sensor output. And then check the optical sensor volt while operating power tailgate in power mode.
5.Change the drive unit, if there is no change during operation.
DRIVE UNIT CLUTCH INSPECTION
1.Check the power tailgate control module input/output value by using the diagnostic tool. If the operation of tailgate
control module is abnormal, replace power tailgate drive unit.
2. To check the clutch operation, select a vehicle type and "POWER SLIDING/TAILGATE" menu.
3.Select power tailgate.

4.Select the sensor output. And then check the clutch feedback sensor output while operating power tailgate in
power mode.
※ Above voltage and numerical value may be different from the real value.
5. Change the drive unit, if there is no change during operation.
REPLACEMENT
1.Disconnect the negative ( - ) battery terminal.
2. Remove the third, fourth seat (Refer to the Body group - seat)
3. Remove the D pillar and luggage side trim (Refer to the Body group - Interior trim).
4. Use a small screw driver to loosen clip (A). But do not remove power tailgate push rod (B).
5.Remove the power tail gate motor mounting bolts (3EA) and connectors (4EA). And then remove the power tail
gate drive unit(A).
TORQUE : 22- 27N.m(2.2- 2.7Kg.m)

PTG drive unit bracket connector (B) does not need to be disconnected in this procedure.
6.Installation is the reverse of removal.
a.Connect the connectors tightly.
b. Check the power tail gate for normal operation correctly.
a.A lost drive unit mounting bolt in the vehicle may make a noise.
b. Don't operate the power tail gate when a push rod is removed.
c. A learn cycle must be performed whenever the power is removed.
d. Check the normal operating whenever a power tailgate component is removed or replaced. If the chime
sound is heard, check the DTC, wiring harness and cable connections.
