Latch Actuator

Power Latch Orientation:

The power cinch and/or power release latch is made possible by a latch actuator attached to the leading edge of the power latch assembly. This 12 volt latch actuator contains a small drive gear that meshes with the latch assemblies internal gears to perform the power cinch close / power release operations.

During a power close cycle, the power cinch actuator provides the torque required to close the power liftgate from the secondary to the primary closed and latched position. During a power open cycle, the power release actuator releases the liftgate from the primary closed and latched position to the fully unlatched and movable position.
