Operation

FLIP-UP GLASS

The liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch is actuated by the flip-up glass latch mechanism. When the flip-up glass is closed and properly latched, its ajar switch is an open circuit. When the glass is open or only partially latched, the ajar switch is a closed circuit. The flip-up glass ajar switch is hard wired in series between a body ground and the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). The EMIC reads the hard wired flip-up glass ajar switch input through an internal pull-up, then uses this input to control many electronic functions and features of the vehicle.

The flip-up glass ajar switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
