REMOVAL
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Open the liftgate and remove the lower liftgate trim panel.

Power Latch Orientation:

3. Disconnect the power latch electrical connector.
4. Remove the three latch retaining bolts.
5. Grab the latch assembly and unhook the key cylinder link rod from the key cylinder.
6. Place the latch assembly on a bench and locate the three wires leading from the actuator portion of the latch assembly.
7. Disengage the main connector retaining push pins from the latch actuator housing.
8. Back the three wires out of the main latch electrical connector.
9. Flip the latch assembly over and remove the latch actuator retaining screw(s).
10. Remove the latch actuator from the latch assembly.

INSTALLATION
1. Install the latch actuator onto the latch assembly.
2. Install the three latch actuator retaining screws.
3. Install the three wires in the main latch electrical connector.

NOTE: Be certain wires are reinstalled in the correct wire cavities. Failure to do so could result in damage to the latch actuator. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out information.

4. Secure the main connector retaining push pins on the latch actuator housing.

Power Latch Orientation:

5. Grab the latch assembly and hook the key cylinder link rod on the key cylinder.
6. Position the latch and install three new latch retaining bolts. Torque to 10 Nm (90 in. lbs.).
7. Connect the power latch electrical connector.
8. Install the lower liftgate trim panel.
9. Connect the battery negative cable.
10. Using an appropriate scan tool, check and erase any power liftgate control module diagnostic trouble codes related to the power latch.
11. Verify power liftgate system and power cinch / release latch operation. Cycle the power liftgate through one complete open and close cycle, this will allow the power liftgate control module to relearn its cycle with the new components.
12. Verify power liftgate manual operation. Using liftgate key rotate the lock cylinder to verify door operation. Pull door open using exterior liftgate handle / switch.
