Liftgate Is Closed
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Depressing either of the power liftgate open/close command switches, sends a PCI data bus signal to the power liftgate control module. The control module will then signal the door mounted latch assembly to release the door from its primary closed and latched position to the ajar and movable position. The liftgate motor than takes over to move the liftgate into the full open position.
