Power Liftgate Initialization Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the LTM loses the logic battery supply for any reason, such as battery disconnect, module disconnect or if left open for more than 6 hours, the LTM loses the power liftgate position stored in memory and attempts to open when the liftgate switch is pressed the first time.

The power liftgate can also lose position if the power liftgate motor, liftgate hinges or liftgate striker are removed, adjusted or disconnected.

The power liftgate normal operation will not be restored until the power liftgate position is once again stored into memory. The initialization procedure is the learning process the LTM uses to restore the power liftgate position in memory. The LTM monitors the position sensor data received during the initial power open-and-close operation to learn the position.
