OPERATION

The engage actuators normal position is disengaged. When a power liftgate open or close command is generated from any of the command switches, the power liftgate control module signals the engage actuator to move its lever to the engaged position. This engages the gear motor to the lift gear, so when the motor turns the lift gate moves upward or downwards depending on its current position.


During a manual liftgate open or close cycle the engage actuator is disengaged, allowing unrestricted liftgate movement.
