General Description
Power Tail Gate(hereinafter PTG) is the system which moves tail gate of vehicle by electronic motor so that user can open or close door with less force than required on manual operation. PTG consists of drive unit, handle, switch, warning buzzer, anti pinch(right/left) and cinch/latch(2 switch each). Drive unit is located at left D pillar (quater panel). It is core part of PTG that drives leg which is connected with push rod by force of motor to move tail gate. beside that Drive unit consists of PTG ECU, motor,push rod, channel, clutch and two optical sensor When power gate open signal is recieved, PTG ECU operates motor of drive unit and pinion gear transmits drive force of motor into an up-and-down motion of leg. according to motion of leg, push rod move vertically to move gate. Optical sensor monitors these system operation and delivers it to PTG ECU.

Schematic Diagram

Monitor Scantool Data
1.
Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).
2.
Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF" & PTG "ON" & gate not in motion.
3.
Monitor the " Door/Gate Close Feedback" and "Door/Gate Open Feedback" Parameter on the Scantool.

Specification : 'Door/Gate Open Feedback' & 'Door/Gate Close Feedback' → 10~80% of Battery Logic Voltage
Specification : Door/Gate Open Feedback' 'Door/Gate Close Feedback' → 1~9V

4.
Is the measured current data within specifications?

▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or ECM's connector or was repaired and ECM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Go to "Inspection & Repair" procedure.

Terminal And Connector Inspection
1.
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals.
Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3.
Has a problem been found?

▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Go to "W/Harness Inspection" procedure.

Power Circuit Inspection
1.
Ignition "OFF" & engine "OFF"
2.
Disconnect "PTG MOTOR" and "PTG module" connector.
3.
Measure resistance between terminal of PTG and terminal of door motor.

Specification : Approx. 0 Ω

4.
Is the measured resistance within specifications?

▶ Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.

▶ Check for open in power harness. Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Component Inspection
1.
Check the "PTG MOTOR"
(1)
Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF"
(2)
Disconnect door motor.
(3)
Connect (+) terminal of battery to#1 terminal of door motor and (-) terminal to #2 terminal of door motor.
(4)
Connect (+) terminal of battery to #2 terminal of door motor and (-) terminal to #1 terminal of door motor.
(5)
Dose the door motor work properly?

▶ Check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "PTG module inspection" procedure.

▶ Substitute with a known-good drive unit and check for proper operation.
If the problem is corrected, replace drive unit and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
※ It is impossible to change door motor separately. So it is changed by drive unit when change is necessary.

2.
Check the "PTG module"
(1)
Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF"
(2)
Disconnect door motor.
(3)
Push the "CLOSE" switch and then measure the voltage between "CLOSE" terminal of "PTG module" and chassis ground.
(4)
Push the "OPEN" switch and then measure the voltage between "OPEN" terminal of "PTG module" and chassis ground.

Specification : Approx.1~9V

(5)
Is the measured voltage within specifications?

▶ Check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Substitute with a known-good "PTG module" and check for proper operation.
If the problem is corrected, replace "PTG module" and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.


Verification Of Vehicle Repair
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1.
Connect scantool and selet "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode and then clear DTC.
2.
Operate the vehicle and monitor the DTC on the scantool.
3.
Are any DTCs present ?

▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.

▶ System is performing to specification at this time.
