B1883-POWER LIFTGATE POSITION SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information

- When Monitored:
Whenever the Power Liftgate Module is power opening or closing.

- Set Condition:
When the Power Liftgate Module senses the (Q204) Position Sensor Signal 1 circuit not pulsing during motor operation, this code will set.





1. CHECK FOR DTCS
1. With the scan tool, record the DTCs.
2. Erase the DTCs.
3. Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition on.
4. If possible, operate the liftgate several times.
5. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.

Does the scan tool display B1883-POWER LIFTGATE POSITION SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for an intermittent condition.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. (Q901) LOGIC GROUND OPEN




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Power Liftgate Drive Unit harness connector.
3. Disconnect the Power Liftgate Module C2 harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance of both the (Q901) Logic Ground circuits between the Power Liftgate Drive Unit harness connector and the Power Liftgate Module C2 harness connector.

Is the resistance below 10 Ohms?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Repair the (Q901) Logic Ground circuit for an open.
