General Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The power liftgate may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
  • A low voltage or dead battery
  • A disconnected battery
  • Repairs/adjustments have been made to the power liftgate rod, power liftgate motor, liftgate hinges or liftgate striker

    If any of these conditions has occurred, the power liftgate must be reinitialized.

  1. NOTE: Battery power must be removed from the LTM  for 20 seconds before the LTM  will enter the initialization mode.

    Disconnect the battery or remove the LTM  fuse(s).

  2. Wait 20 seconds and reconnect the battery or reinstall the LTM  fuse(s).
  3. If liftgate is not already in the fully closed position, manually close and fully latch the power liftgate.
  4. NOTE: Make sure the power liftgate system is turned ON in the message center before performing this step.
    NOTE: If the power liftgate does not open during this step, Refer to POWER LIFTGATE  to diagnose the inoperative power liftgate.

    Power open the power liftgate by using the RKE  transmitter or instrument panel control switch.

  5. Once the power liftgate is fully open, close the power liftgate by using the RKE  transmitter or instrument panel control switch.
