Exterior Liftgate Release Switch

NOTE: For information regarding interaction between the exterior liftgate release switch and the power liftgate system, refer to BODY PANEL SYSTEM - BODY CLOSURES .

The exterior liftgate release switch is a momentary contact switch that supplies a ground signal to the BCM and, if equipped, the RFA module. When the switch is pressed, the signal is routed to ground, indicating a request to the BCM to release the liftgate latch or for the RFA module to initiate the passive entry feature.
