Position Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The RGTM provides regulated 9 volt power and ground to the hall-effect sensors within the position sensor. It also supplies voltage signals to the position sensor on a valid open command or when the tailgate is in the open position. The position sensor has 2 data lines the RGTM monitors to determine tailgate movement and position. The RGTM uses the tailgate position information to determine which direction to power the tailgate (open or close) when a valid operation command is received. The movement is monitored to identify obstructions.
