ELECTRIC TAILGATE CONTROL UNIT

The electric tailgate motor consists of an electric
motor assembly (incorporating an electromagnetic
clutch and gears), gears and arms. It is integrated in
the electric tailgate control unit. As the motor runs to
the open or close direction, the gears (No.1, No.2,
and No.3) will rotate in that order, thus turning the
arm.

TAILGATE LATCH

The tailgate latch includes the latch motor and
switches. With each switch, ON and OFF is switched
by the lever movement.

• A half latch switch detects that the latch remains

ajar (not engaged fully). This prevents the electric
tailgate from opening unintentionally.

• A full latch switch detects that the electric tailgate

remains closed fully (overrun*).

NOTE: *: Overrun indicates that the striker is pulled

further to close side by the tailgate latch in order
to fully close the electric tailgate securely.

• A door-ajar switch detects the doors are closed

fully. In addition, the switch detects that the elec-
tric tailgate can be opened.

• A neutral switch detects the neutral position of

the latch motor.

TAILGATE SENSOR

While the electric tailgate is being closed automati-
cally, if pressure is applied to the tailgate sensors
located at the both sides of electric tailgate, the sys-
tem determines that something is caught by the com-
pression of pressure detection sensor.

ELECTRIC TAILGATE MAIN SWITCH

When the electric tailgate main switch in the instru-
ment panel is OFF, the electric tailgate cannot be
opened or closed automatically. This prevents the
electric tailgate from an unintentional operation
caused by the accidental pressing of electric tailgate
switch or electric tailgate close switch of the keyless
operation key.

NOTE: If you attempt to open or close the tailgate
automatically while the electric tailgate main switch is
off, the warning buzzer will sound four times to warn
that the electric tailgate cannot be operated.

ELECTRIC TAILGATE SWITCH

When you press and hold the electric tailgate switch
on the instrument panel, the electric tailgate is auto-
matically opened or closed to its full position.

ELECTRIC TAILGATE CLOSE SWITCH

If you turn on the electric tailgate close switch inside
the tailgate while the tailgate is fully opened, it will be
closed automatically to its full position.

TAILGATE LOCK RELEASE HANDLE

The electric tailgate lock release handle which
requires a small operating force and has no tempera-
ture dependency has been adopted to improve the
opening operation. When the handle is operated, the
switch is turned ON or OFF. Refer to

P.42A-9
