Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Yukon XL, 2007 GMC Yukon, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The body control module (BCM) receives an input from both the liftgate and liftglass ajar switches. The ajar switches are normally open when the liftgate and the liftglass are fully closed. When either the liftgate or liftglass is opened, the appropriate ajar switch contacts close providing a path to ground. The driver information center (DIC) located at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster (IPC), illuminates the rear access open message when either the glass or the gate is open. The IPC receives a GMLAN serial data message from the BCM indicating the liftgate or liftglass ajar status. If this message is displayed and the vehicle speed is greater than 8.1 km/h (5 mph), a chime will sound.
