Diagnostic Procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) DRIVE UNIT (RH) CONNECTOR CONDITION • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) • Disconnect the power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) connector. • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. • Is the connector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
2	INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR CONDITION • Disconnect the power liftgate (PLG) control module connector. • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. • Is the connector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
3	INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) DRIVE UNIT (RH) CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Verify that the power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) and power liftgate (PLG) control module connectors are disconnected. • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground: ? Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal D ? Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal B • Is there continuity?	Yes	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: • Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal D?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1I • Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal B?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1G If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground. Go to Step 7.
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) DRIVE UNIT (RH) CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY • Verify that the power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) and power liftgate (PLG) control module connectors are disconnected. • Connect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side): ? Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal D ? Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal B • Is the voltage 0 V?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: • Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal D?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1I • Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal B?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1G If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply. Go to Step 7.
5	INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) DRIVE UNIT (RH) CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) • Verify that the power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) and power liftgate (PLG) control module connectors are disconnected. • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side): ? Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal D?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1I ? Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal B?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1G • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: • Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal D?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1I • Power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) terminal B?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1G If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit. Go to Step 7.
6	INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) DRIVE UNIT (RH) • Inspect the power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH). (See POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) DRIVE UNIT INSPECTION.) • Is the power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH) normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Replace the power liftgate (PLG) drive unit (RH), then go to the next step. (See POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) DRIVE UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
7	VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED • Always reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Connect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) • Clear the DTC for the power liftgate (PLG) control module using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE].) • Retrieve the power liftgate (PLG) control module DTCs using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE].) • Is the same DTC displayed?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. • If the malfunction recurs, replace the power liftgate (PLG) control module. (See POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) Go to the next step.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED • Are any other DTCs displayed?	Yes	Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE].)
8		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
