Diagnosis And Testing - Pinch Sensor: Thermistor
The thermistor portion of the right pinch sensor provides the temperature signal to the power liftgate control module (temperature is provided when the pinch sensor is in an unpinched condition; when pinched, temperature is unavailable because the thermistor is shorted). Refer to the RIGHT PINCH SENSOR/THERMISTOR DIAGNOSTIC TABLE to test the thermistor resistance.
