B197F-11-POWER LIFTGATE LATCH CONTROL 1 - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

- When Monitored:
Anytime the Power Liftgate is in a latch cinch or release operation.

- Set Condition:
When the liftgate latch motor cinch or release output is pulled low prior to or during a latch cinch or release operation, this code will set.





1. DTC PRESENT
1. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
2. Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition on.
3. Operate the power liftgate several times if possible.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
5. If the B2199-16-BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW DTC is present, repair that code before proceeding.

Does the scan tool display; B197F-11-POWER LIFTGATE LATCH CONTROL 1 - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for an intermittent condition. Operate the liftgate several times and check for any binding conditions in the latch assembly.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. BINDING LIFTGATE LATCH
1. Examine the liftgate for proper alignment, worn or binding hinges, latch alignment or anything that would cause an obstruction to proper operation.
2. With an open liftgate, manually close the latch and open it with the handle switch several times.

Were there any mechanical problems found?

Yes

- Refer to the Service information for the related symptom(s). Power Liftgate Operation
