DTC B1495:14 [POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE]

id0902o8977500

Description	Foot-motion detection sensor circuit malfunction
Detection condition	• Foot-motion detection unit detected a short circuit to ground in the foot-motion detection sensor circuit • Foot-motion detection unit detected an open circuit in the foot-motion detection sensor circuit
Fail-safe	• Stops the hands-free liftgate operation.
Possible cause	• Foot-motion detection unit connector or terminal malfunction • Foot-motion detection sensor up malfunction • Foot-motion detection sensor lwr malfunction • Foot-motion detection unit malfunction • Power liftgate (PLG) control module malfunction
System wiring diagram	Not applicable

Diagnostic Procedure

Step	Inspection		Action
1	INSPECT FOOT-MOTION DETECTION UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) • Disconnect the foot-motion detection unit connector. (See FOOT-MOTION DETECTION UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) • 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	DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS FOOT-MOTION DETECTION SENSOR UP • 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].) • Are the same DTCs present?	Yes	Replace the foot-motion detection sensor up, then go to the next step. (See FOOT-MOTION DETECTION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2		No	Go to Step 6.
3	DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS FOOT-MOTION DETECTION SENSOR LWR • 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].) • Are the same DTCs present?	Yes	Replace the foot-motion detection sensor lwr, then go to the next step. (See FOOT-MOTION DETECTION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
3		No	Go to Step 6.
4	DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS FOOT-MOTION DETECTION UNIT • 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].) • Are the same DTCs present?	Yes	Replace the foot-motion detection unit, then go to the next step. (See FOOT-MOTION DETECTION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4		No	Go to Step 6.
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].) • Retrieve the power liftgate (PLG) control module DTCs using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) CONTROL MODULE].) • Are the same DTCs present?	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.
