Service Action: Power Tailgate IPM Update To Prevent Battery Discharge (SA021) (BOD 051)

- Description

*This revised bulletin - a BLACK BAR SHOWN IN THE IMAGES AND/OR ASTERISKS indicates REVISED instruction - provides information relating to a running change made on Sedona (VQ) models with power tailgate package produced prior to 6/20/2009. Some Sedona customers may complain after operating the rear tailgate and then turning OFF the ignition within 30 seconds, the battery may become discharged due internal logic of the IPM holding the internal timer ON and creating a small parasitic current draw. To correct this condition, the IPM should be reprogrammed using the GDS download as described in this bulletin.*
