Liftgate Release

The liftgate can be released by operating the liftgate release switch or pressing the liftgate release button on the key fob. The transmission must be in the PARK position for the liftgate to release.

When the liftgate release switch is pushed, the liftgate release switch signal circuit to the body control module (BCM) is grounded. When the liftgate release switch signal circuit is grounded, the BCM grounds the coil side of the trunk release relay through the trunk release relay control circuit. With ground applied to the coil side of the trunk release relay, voltage is applied to the liftgate release actuator, opening the liftgate.
