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

- When Monitored:
Whenever the Power Liftgate Module is awake.

- Set Condition:
When the Power Liftgate Module senses a voltage over 4.7 Volts on the (G25) Liftgate Switch Sense circuit, this code will set.





1. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) PRESENT
1. Using the scan tool, record DTCs.
2. Erase DTCs.
3. Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition on.
4. Operate the liftgate several times from the overhead switch.
5. Using the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the scan tool display B18E4-POWER LIFTGATE FRONT ZONE SWITCH CIRCUIT HIGH?

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. LIFTGATE RELEASE SWITCH SHORTED
