Power Liftgate Motor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The power liftgate motor raises and lowers the liftgate. The power liftgate motor is bi-directional and contains a position sensor that provides input to the RGTM for liftgate position and velocity.
Position Sensor
The RGTM provides 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 liftgate is in the open position. The position sensor has 2 data lines the RGTM monitors to determine liftgate movement and position. The RGTM uses the liftgate position information to determine which direction to power the liftgate (open or close) when a valid operation command is received. The movement is monitored to identify obstructions.
