Tasks 

The trunk lid Control unit or liftgate Control unit has the following tasks:

• Reading in of sensors and signals 
• Evaluation of input factors 
• Actuation of components 

Reading in of sensors and signals 

The input factors are read in via the following connections:

• Direct line 
• Interior CAN (CAN B) 

Direct line 

The signals from the following components are read via direct lines:

• Trunk lid/liftgate control Hall sensor (M51/3b1) (Model 205.2, 253)
• Trunk lid/liftgate control position sensor (M51/3b2) (Model 205.0/1/3)

Interior CAN 

The following signals, among others, are read in via interior CAN:

• Vehicle speed (from instrument cluster (A1))
• Status of driver trunk lid/liftgate control button (S15/3) (left front door Control unit (N69/1))
• Status of trunk lid/liftgate lock (rear SAM Control unit (N10/8))
• Status of trunk lid/liftgate control button (S62/26) (rear SAM Control unit)
• Circuit 15 status from electronic ignition lock Control unit (N73)

• Status of open trunk lid/liftgate control button on transmitter key (A8/1) (electronic ignition lock Control unit)
• Status of rear switching module (N38) (with code 871 (HANDS-FREE ACCESS))
• Status of opening angle limit (electronic ignition lock Control unit)

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the relevant components are then actuated.

Actuation of components 

The components are actuated via direct lines.

The following components are actuated via direct lines:

• Trunk lid/liftgate control warning buzzer (H4/60)
• Trunk lid/liftgate control electric motor (M51/3m1)
