Liftgate/Luggage Compartment Lid Release

The BCM sends a voltage signal to the exterior liftgate/luggage compartment lid release switch. When the liftgate/luggage compartment lid release switch is pressed, the voltage signal is routed to ground, indicating a request to release the liftgate/luggage compartment lid latch. The BCM momentarily provides voltage to the liftgate/luggage compartment lid latch to actuate the release motor.

The BCM also receives input from the headlamp switch for the interior liftgate/luggage compartment lid release switch (integrated into the headlamp switch). When the switch is pressed, the headlamp switch sends the request over a LIN to the BCM. The BCM momentarily provides voltage to the liftgate/luggage compartment lid latch to actuate the release motor.

The BCM releases the liftgate/luggage compartment lid only when the doors are electronically unlocked and the vehicle is in PARK when a request is detected from the liftgate/luggage compartment lid release switch.

The liftgate/luggage compartment lid can also be released with a programmed RKE transmitter if the vehicle speed is 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or less.
