(4) Using an appropriate scan tool, check any

erase any power liftgate control module diagnostic
trouble codes related to the door motor assembly.

(5) Verify power liftgate system operation. Cycle

the power liftgate through one complete open and
close cycle, this will allow the power liftgate control
module to relearn its cycle with the new components.

CAUTION: Torque link rod to liftgate attachment
bolt to 250 in. lbs. Care must be taken not to over-
torque link rod bolt.

PINCH SENSOR

DESCRIPTION

Pinch sensors are located on each side of the lift-

gate (Fig. 19). These sensors look like weather-strips,
however they consist of pieces of electrically conduc-
tive rubber (tapeswitch), wires, resistor, double sided
tape, and a plastic carrier. They are used to indicate
an obstruction during a power liftgate close cycle.

OPERATION

During a power liftgate close cycle, if either of the

two conductive rubber strips (tapeswitch) of the
pinch sensor come in contact with an obstacle, the
pinch sensor circuit is completed. This tells the
power liftgate control module that a obstruction is

felt. The control module will stop the liftgate imme-
diately and return it to the full open position.

REMOVAL

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative

cable.

(2) Remove trim panel from liftgate, (Refer to 23 -

BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/
TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL).

(3) Disconnect the pinch sensor wire harness con-

nector (Fig. 20).

(4) Remove screws holding the pinch sensor to lift-

gate.

(5) Feed the pinch sensor wire harness out of the

liftgate and remove the sensor from the vehicle.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN TEST-
ING PINCH SENSOR OPERATION.

CAUTION: Ensure liftgate surface is clean and dry
prior to pinch sensor installation. Failure to do so
will inhibit the adhesive backings ability to adhere
to the liftgate and cause improper system operation
or premature component failure.

(1) Position the pinch sensor to the liftgate.

(2) Install the third screw from the top of the sen-

sor first. Do not torque screw at this time.

(3) Install the remaining three screws holding the

sensor to the liftgate. Torque all screws to 25 in. lbs.

(4) Install wire harness grommet in liftgate flange

and route, connect the pinch sensor wire harness
connector (Fig. 21).

(5) Remove protective tape from the top of the

pinch sensor. Firmly apply pressure to the sensor
adhesive to secure it to the liftgate.

(6) Install the trim panel on the liftgate, (Refer to

23

-

BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAIL-

GATE/TRIM PANEL - INSTALLATION).

(7) Connect the battery negative cable.
(8) Using an appropriate scan tool, check and

erase any power liftgate control module diagnostic
trouble codes related to the pinch sensor.

(9) Verify power liftgate system and pinch sensor

operation. Cycle the power liftgate through one com-
plete open and close cycle, during the final close cycle
press the pinch sensor to verify the power liftgate
detects an obstruction and returns to the full open
position.

TRANSVERSE BRACKET

DESCRIPTION

The transverse bracket (Fig. 22) is used to support

and secure the power liftgate gear/motor assembly to
the left rear body D-pillar. The transverse bracket is
a serviceable power liftgate component.

OPERATION

The power liftgate transverse bracket supports the

gear motor assembly by supplying an additional
attachment point. Located on the leading edge of the
gear motor assembly, one end of the transverse
bracket attaches to the motor assembly the other to
the leading edge of the vehicles D-pillar.

REMOVAL

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative

cable.

(2) Remove the left D-pillar trim from the vehicle,

(Refer to 23 - BODY/INTERIOR/LEFT D-PILLAR
TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL).

(3) Disconnect the gear motor assembly electrical

connector and disengage retaining pushpin.

(4) Loosen the gear motor assembly retaining bolts

to allow room for transverse bracket to be removed.

(5) Remove the transverse bracket retaining bolts

(Fig. 23).

(6) Remove the transverse bracket from the vehi-

cle.

INSTALLATION

(1) Position the transverse bracket in the vehicle.

Be certain the transverse bracket is properly posi-
tioned. The bracket should just touch the engage
actuator arm and be positioned between the actuator
arm and the motor housing.

(2) Torque the transverse bracket retaining bolts

to the gear motor assembly to 9.5 N·m (85 in. lbs.).
Do not tighten the transverse bracket retaining bolt,
located under the window actuator at this time.

(3) Torque the gear motor assembly retaining bolts

to 9.5 N·m (85 in. lbs.).

(4) Torque the final transverse bracket retaining

bolt to 9.5 N·m (85 in. lbs.).

(5) Connect the gear motor assembly electrical con-

nector and engage retaining pushpin.

(6) Install the left D-pillar trim, (Refer to 23 -

BODY/INTERIOR/LEFT D-PILLAR TRIM PANEL -
INSTALLATION).

(7) Connect the battery negative cable.
(8) Using an appropriate scan tool, check any

erase any power liftgate control module diagnostic
trouble codes related to the door motor assembly.

(9) Verify power liftgate system operation. Cycle

the power liftgate through one complete open and
close cycle, this will allow the power liftgate control
module to relearn its cycle with the new components.

POWER LOCKS

DESCRIPTION

POWER LOCKS

The power lock system allows all of the doors to be

locked or unlocked electrically by operating a switch
on either front door trim panel. The power lock sys-
tem receives non-switched battery current through a
fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), so that
the power locks remain operational, regardless of the
ignition switch position.

The Body Control Module (BCM) locks the doors

automatically when the vehicle is driven beyond the
speed of 25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors are closed, the
accelerator pedal is depressed and the door lock actu-
ation had not been previously activated. The rolling
door lock feature is customer programmable.

This vehicle also offers several customer program-

mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences.

The power lock system for this vehicle can also be

operated remotely using the available Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system radio frequency transmit-
ters, if equipped.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS

When enabled, this feature will lock all of the door

locks if all of the doors are closed and the vehicle
speed goes above 25.7 km/h (15 mph). If a door
unlock has occurred, then the BCM will perform
another auto lock, if the doors did not electrically
unlock, another auto lock will not occur.

DOOR LOCK INHIBIT

When the key is in the ignition (in any switch posi-

tion) and either front door is opened, the door lock
switches

LOCK

functions

are

disabled.

The

UN-LOCK functions are still functional. This protects
against locking the vehicle with the key still in the
ignition. The RKE key fob will still lock the doors.
After the key is removed from the ignition or the
doors are closed, the power door locks will operate
normally.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY

The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system allows

the use of a remote battery-powered radio transmit-
ter to communicate with the BCM to actuate the
power lock system.

The RKE transmitters are also equipped with a

Panic button. If the Panic button on the RKE trans-
mitter is depressed, the horn will sound and the
exterior lights will flash on the vehicle for about
three minutes, or until the Panic button is depressed
