Tailgate Release Switches

TAILGATE RELEASE SWITCHES

Upper Tailgate Release Switch





The upper tailgate release switch is a non latching switch installed in the exterior door handle, behind a rubber cover. Pressing the cover closes the switch and connects a ground to the CJB. This momentarily energizes the actuator of the upper tailgate latch. The CJB only responds to the switch input when the CLS system is unlocked and the vehicle is stationary.

Lower Tailgate Release Switch





The lower tailgate release switch is a non latching switch installed under a rubber cover in the top edge of the lower tailgate. Pressing the cover closes the switch and connects a ground to the CJB, which then momentarily energizes the actuators of the two lower tailgate latches. The CJB only responds to the switch input when the upper tail door is unlatched and the vehicle is stationary.
