Operating flow: Trunk Close

  1. Closing can be triggered receiving a signal from followings.

    (Trunk trim S/W, Crash pad S/W (Push) → It works while it is being pushed only.

  2. PTL module controls the driving motor, sector gear, push rod in order to close.
  3. Closing angle of trunk is calculated by the input pulse signal from Hall sensor.
  4. The rotating speed of motor can be measured by Hall sensor which is built in motor.
    1. In case the motor speed is lower than target value: Motor torque increases.
    2. In case the motor speed is faster than target value: Motor torque decreases.

    * If motor has restriction force during closing, it may be opened by repulsive force

  5. E-Latch contacts with the power striker shaft, and then E-Latch is locked mechanically. (Unlock → Lock)
  6. PTL module makes stop the PTL motor operation after detecting the E-Latch's lock signal.
  7. Power striker actuator works and then make shaft position to move by 6mm. (Pop up → Full Close)

The table in the slide is to explain the operation of power trunk lid considering all cases of vehicle speed, anti-theft status, door condition and key status. As it is mentioned previously, some of the PTL switch is available to open and close but some of them is only for close.

Vehicle speed:  Stop or Driving

This is based on the vehicle speed signal; if the vehicle speed is lower than 3kph, it will be assumed as a 'vehicle stop'. If the vehicle speed is over 3kph, it is the 'vehicle driving' condition.

Key Status:  If the ignition is inserted into the ignition cylinder (without PIC).

Door condition:  Be sure that its condition is only for lock or unlock status. Don't confuse with the door open or close.

Some conditions cannot be occurred actually so that the case was expressed by the symbol of '-' (NA) in the table. Also when the vehicle is running ('vehicle driving'), there is no meaning to think the case of 'Key Out' so that those cases were eliminated in the table.

PTL OPERATION LOGIC (SAFETY & ANTI THEFT)

Section Vehicle Status Operation Mode
Safety 1. Vehicle driving condition
  • Possible to open & close while stop only.

    : Vehicle speed is lower than 3km/h.

2. Detect an obstacle during operation (Motor restraint)
  • During Open: Closed by 50mm after stop
  • During Close: Fully opened
3. Switch on during operation
  • Stop operation immediately
4. Engine cranking during operating
  • Stop operation immediately
Anti-Theft 1. In case of valet parking
  • Turn off the trunk main switch in the glove box

    : Impossible to open & close by motor

2. All door lock or pre arm mode status
  • Impossible to open by the trunk outside handle
3. By using RKE, open a trunk under the pre arm mode (ARM HOLD)
  • Hazard lamp blinks 3 times for warning open & close the trunk.

Using the scan tool, the self-diagnose and input/output for sensor and actuator data can be inspected.
