Liftgate Intelligent Access (IA) Feature

The liftgate IA feature allows the liftgate to be opened without using the interior liftgate open/close switch or an RKE command. With a programmed IA key within 1 m (3 ft) outside of the liftgate, press the exterior liftgate switch, and the liftgate opens. When the RFA module detects a signal from the exterior liftgate switch, it activates the low frequency antenna in the rear bumper cover. The low frequency antenna sends out a signal to the IA key. The low frequency signal activates the IA key and the IA key then sends a high frequency signal back to the TPM module. The TPM module interprets the high frequency signal from the IA key and sends the information to the RFA module. If the RFA module determines that it is a programmed key, it sends a message to the Liftgate/Trunk Module (LTM) over the MS-CAN. When the LTM receives an open request message, it opens the liftgate. For operation of the power liftgate and its components, refer to BODY CLOSURES .
