id091100803800

Caution

•  When replacing the power liftgate (PLG) control module, it is necessary to set the fully open position again after replacement. Therefore, measure the power liftgate fully open position in advance. If the power liftgate (PLG) control module is replaced, the power liftgate will open to an unexpected position and the vehicle could be damaged because the changed fully open position is cleared.

Note

•  The power liftgate (PLG) control module prior to replacement stores the vehicle specification information.

•  A new power liftgate (PLG) control module does not store any vehicle specification information.

•  When the ignition is switched ON, the power liftgate (PLG) control module reads the vehicle specification information sent via CAN communication from the instrument cluster, and stores the vehicle specification information.

•  The power liftgate (PLG) control module can be removed without having to remove the trunk side trim from the vehicle.
