The liftgate motor clutch engages or disengages the liftgate motor to the liftgate drive gear and is the component that determines power or manual operation. When the liftgate control module supplies power to the clutch control circuit, the clutch coil is energized and the liftgate motor is engaged to the liftgate drive gear so that power operation can occur. The liftgate control module monitors the clutch control circuit at all times for a short high while in an inactive state or a short low or insufficient current flow while in an active state.
