Power Liftgate Chime

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The liftgate/trunk module (LTM) requests a chime to sound for 3 seconds when:

the LTM receives a request to power close.
the liftgate reverses when closing due to an obstacle.
the liftgate stops opening due to an obstacle.

The LTM requests a chime to sound for one second when an open or close input is received when:

the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 5 km/h (3 mph).
the ignition key is in the RUN position and the transmission is not in the PARK position.
the battery voltage is between 8 and 9.5 volts.

The chime will sound continuously for up to 5 minutes when the transmission is shifted out of the PARK position or the vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph) while the liftgate is closing. The chime will stop sounding when the liftgate reaches the latch, 5 minutes has elapsed or the transmission is shifted into the PARK position and the vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph).

The chime will sound continuously for up to 5 minutes when the liftgate fails to close to the primary latch position after 20 seconds of powering in the close direction. The chime will stop if the liftgate reaches the primary latch position or 5 minutes has elapsed.
