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.
The sector switch is essentially a park switch for the latch. When the latch is running a cinch or release operation, the switch is closed. After the cinch or release is complete, the PLGM will reverse direction of the latch until the switch is open.
