Circuit Description
The decklid/lift gate release is controlled by the body control module (BCM) providing battery voltage to the release solenoid by circuit 382. The BCM limits the amount of time the solenoid can be activated to 750 ms to prevent damage to the solenoid. Reactivation may not be allowed for as much as 30 seconds.
When the BCM receives a request to activate the decklid/lift gate release solenoid, it switches circuit 382 to battery to provide battery to the solenoid. Ground is provided to the solenoid by circuit 550.
