DTC B1454:13 [POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE]

id0902o8048900

Description	Power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) circuit malfunction
Detection condition	• Power liftgate (PLG) control module detected an open circuit in the power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) circuit for 0.1 s or more.
Fail-safe	• Stops the power liftgate (PLG) system operation.
Possible cause	• Power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) connector or terminal malfunction • Power liftgate (PLG) control module connector or terminal malfunction • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals: ? Power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) terminal B?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1N ? Power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) terminal A?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1M • Power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) malfunction • Power liftgate (PLG) control module malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) TOUCH SENSOR (LH) CONNECTOR CONDITION • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) • Disconnect the power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) 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 5.
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 5.
3	INSPECT TOUCH SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Verify that the power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) and power liftgate (PLG) control module connectors are disconnected. • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side): ? Power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) terminal B?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1N ? Power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) terminal A?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1M • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: • Power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) terminal B?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1N • Power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH) terminal A?Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1M 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 5.
4	INSPECT POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) TOUCH SENSOR (LH) • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side): ? Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1N ? Power liftgate (PLG) control module terminal 1M • Is the voltage normal? (See POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE INSPECTION.)	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Replace the power liftgate (PLG) touch sensor (LH), then go to the next step. (See POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) TOUCH SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5	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].) • Switch the ignition off and wait for 0.1 s or more. • 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.
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	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].)
6		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
