Theory Of Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This DTC is designed to detect a failed gas prop which will cause the liftgate to free fall at the top of an open cycle. This is accomplished by the liftgate position sensors 1 and 2 transmitting that information to the power liftgate module. This DTC can also be set by the operator pulling on the opened liftgate and closing it down to quickly (less than one second).
