Drive Assembly Actuator Clutch

The drive assembly actuator clutch separates the drive assembly actuator motor from the liftgate drive gear. This allows manual opening and closing of the liftgate without driving the motor. The LTM supplies power to the drive assembly actuator clutch for any valid OPEN/CLOSE operation. The clutch connects the drive assembly actuator motor to the drive gear, allowing the motor to turn the gear and open or close the liftgate.
