Rear Compartment

UNLOCK
The remote control door lock receiver supplies the voltage at cavity G to the rear door lock motor when the following conditions occur:
^ You press the rear window release button on the transmitter.
^ The remote control door lock receiver receives a valid vehicle access code.

The normally closed contacts of the LOCK switch supply the ground for the rear door lock motor. The closed contacts of the LOCK switch are inside of the door lock relay. The ground completes the circuit and unlocks the rear door lock motor. For safety reasons, the liftgate unlocks, but the liftgate does not pop open.

RELEASE
Pressing the liftgate release switch and pulling the liftgate handle opens the liftgate when the rear door lock motor is in the UNLOCK position. The liftgate release switch will only function after the liftgate motor unlocks.
