PINPOINT TEST E : The Power Liftgate Pinch Strip Does Not Stop Or Reverse the Liftgate: Notes

Normal Operations and Fault Conditions 

When the power liftgate moves in the close direction, the LTM monitors the pinch strip switches and position sensor for obstacle detection. If the LTM detects an obstacle or a concern with a pinch strip, it either reverses the liftgate or does not allow power close. The LTM sends a voltage reference signal to both pinch strips. When a pinch strip is activated, it switches the voltage reference signal to ground. The right and left pinch strip return signal circuits are spliced together.

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks 

• Inspect pinch strip switches.
