Liftgate Is Open
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 liftgate motor to move the liftgate into the closed position. Once the door mounted latch reaches the body mounted striker assembly, the power latch takes over to cinch the door to the fully closed and latched position.
If a obstacle is encountered during a power open or close cycle, the power liftgate control module will automatically reverse direction of the liftgate to prevent vehicle damage or personal injury. Refer to the owner's manual for additional information.
