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 275. The rear compartment lid lock release actuator energizes, releasing the rear compartment lid.

If the transaxle is shifted out of PARK, voltage supply to the rear compartment lid release relay in interrupted. This action disables the rear compartment lid release feature.
