Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and 2015 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the body control module (BCM) receives a liftgate release command, it will provide voltage to one side of the relay and ground to the other side of the relay. This will energize the relay causing the switch side of the relay to close and will then provide B+ voltage to the liftgate latch.
