Liftgate Ajar Indicator

Liftgate Ajar Indicator Description and Operation

LIFTGATE OPEN Indicator

Manual Liftgate

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the LIFTGATE OPEN indicator when the body control module (BCM) detects that the liftgate is open. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM requesting illumination. If the vehicle is in the forward or reverse gear position, the BCM activates an audible warning.

Power Liftgate

The liftgate module (LGM) detects the liftgate ratchet switch is closed to ground indicating the liftgate is open. The IPC receives a serial data message from the LGM indicating the liftgate ajar status and the driver information center (DIC) illuminates the LIFTGATE OPEN indicator.
