Rear Compartment Lid Release
When pressing the rear compartment button on the keyless entry transmitter, the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) grounds circuit 253. This action energizes the rear compartment lid release relay, thus applying voltage in circuit 56. Then, the rear compartment lid lock release actuator energizes, releasing the rear compartment lid.

If the transaxle is shifted out of PARK, voltage supply in circuit 275 to the rear compartment lid release relay is interrupted. This action disables the rear compartment lid release feature. Refer to Rear Compartment Lid Release for more information. Trunk / Liftgate
