Pinch Strip Switch
The power liftgate pinch strips are membrane-style switches. When the pinch strip is compressed, the contacts inside the switch make contact and provide a signal to the LTM to indicate an obstacle is present and prevent the liftgate from closing. When the pinch strip is not compressed, it has an approximate resistance of 5, 700-6, 700 ohms. When the pinch strip is compressed, it has an approximate resistance of 0-200 ohms.
