Auto Open Operation Not Performed: Notes

CAUTION:

If the power supply voltage of the power liftgate (PLG) control module is less than 5 V, the fail-safe function disables the power liftgate (PLG) system operation. To cancel the fail-safe function, it is necessary to disconnect and reconnect the negative battery terminal while the power supply voltage of the power liftgate (PLG) control module is 10.5 V or more.
If the negative battery terminal is disconnected with the power liftgate (PLG) fully opened or half-open, the auto open/close operation is disabled. In this case, it is necessary to perform the power liftgate (PLG) initial setting when the negative battery terminal is reconnected. (See POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE .)
