LIFTGATE MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The gear motor assembly (Fig. 14) consists of a DC
motor, hall effect sensor, engage actuator, full open
switch, lift gear, aluminum housing, drive gears and
wire harness. The gears and motor portion of the
assembly provides the power and torque required to
open or close the liftgate. The hall effect sensor is used
to provide the liftgate control module with a speed read-
ing, which is used to monitor the resistance of liftgate
travel. This speed reading also allows the power liftgate
control module to detect obstructions and move the lift-
gate accordingly. The engage actuator is used to toggle
between power open/close mode and full manual mode
when desired. The full open switch is used to let the
power liftgate control module know when the liftgate is
approaching the full open position.
Serviceable components of the power liftgate gear/mo-
tor assembly are the complete gear/motor assembly,
motor and wire harness, lift gear and control rod,
engage actuator, full open switch and the transverse
bracket.
OPERATION
With the push of a power liftgate command switch
(liftgate closed), the power liftgate control module
will signal the latch assembly to release the liftgate
from its primary closed and latched position to the
released and movable position. The liftgate motor-
mounted engage actuator then engages the liftgatemotor assembly, which moves the liftgate into the
open position. The liftgate motor provides the torque
and power to move the door to its full open or closed
position(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS -
OPERATION) for additional information.
REMOVAL
The power liftgate gear/motor assembly is serviced
in two ways: the complete gear/motor assembly, or
the motor, aluminum housing, drive gears and wire
harness assembly. To perform this service, use the
following procedure to remove the gear/motor assem-
bly from the vehicle. Then refer to the other proce-
dures called out in this section to transfer the
remaining components (engage actuator, full open
switch, transverse bracket and lift gear and rod) to
the replacement gear/motor assembly.

module to relearn its cycle with the new components.
LIFT GEAR & LINK ROD
DESCRIPTION
The lift gear and rod assembly are located in the
left rear of the vehicle and are visible without remov-ing the D-pillar trim (Fig. 16). The lift gear provides
the leverage to move the liftgate from the closed to
the open position. The lift gear attaches to a bearing
on the gear motor assembly with four bolts. On the
outboard side of the lift gear are riveted on teeth,
which mesh with the gear motor assembly drive
gears during a open or close operation. The rod
assembly is a steel shaft, equipped with two spheri-
cal rod ends which attaches the lift gear to the lift-
gate. The lift gear and rod assembly are serviceable
components.
OPERATION
One end of the rod assembly is attached to the lift-
gate, the other attached to the lift gear. When the lift
gear is driven by the gear motor assembly the lift-
gate is moved to the open or closed position.

module to relearn its cycle with the new components.
CAUTION: Torque link rod to liftgate attachment
bolt to 250 in. lbs. Care must be taken not to over-
torque link rod bolt.
PINCH SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Pinch sensors are located on each side of the lift-
gate (Fig. 19). These sensors look like weather-strips,
however they consist of pieces of electrically conduc-
tive rubber (tapeswitch), wires, resistor, double sided
tape, and a plastic carrier. They are used to indicate
an obstruction during a power liftgate close cycle.
OPERATION
During a power liftgate close cycle, if either of the
two conductive rubber strips (tapeswitch) of the
pinch sensor come in contact with an obstacle, the
pinch sensor circuit is completed. This tells the
power liftgate control module that a obstruction is
felt. The control module will stop the liftgate imme-
diately and return it to the full open position.

POWER LOCKS
DESCRIPTION
POWER LOCKS
The power lock system allows all of the doors to be
locked or unlocked electrically by operating a switch
on either front door trim panel. The power lock sys-
tem receives non-switched battery current through a
fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), so that
the power locks remain operational, regardless of the
ignition switch position.
The Body Control Module (BCM) locks the doors
automatically when the vehicle is driven beyond the
speed of 25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors are closed, the
accelerator pedal is depressed and the door lock actu-
ation had not been previously activated. The rolling
door lock feature is customer programmable.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be
operated remotely using the available Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system radio frequency transmit-
ters, if equipped.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
When enabled, this feature will lock all of the door
locks if all of the doors are closed and the vehicle
speed goes above 25.7 km/h (15 mph). If a door
unlock has occurred, then the BCM will perform
another auto lock, if the doors did not electrically
unlock, another auto lock will not occur.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
When the key is in the ignition (in any switch posi-
tion) and either front door is opened, the door lock
switches LOCK functions are disabled. The
UN-LOCK functions are still functional. This protects
against locking the vehicle with the key still in the
ignition. The RKE key fob will still lock the doors.
After the key is removed from the ignition or the
doors are closed, the power door locks will operate
normally.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system allows
the use of a remote battery-powered radio transmit-
ter to communicate with the BCM to actuate the
power lock system.
The RKE transmitters are also equipped with a
Panic button. If the Panic button on the RKE trans-
mitter is depressed, the horn will sound and the
exterior lights will flash on the vehicle for about
three minutes, or until the Panic button is depressed
8N - 20 POWER LOCKSRS

a second time. Pressing the Panic button also acti-
vates the courtesy lamps. Pressing the Panic button
again stops the exterior lamps from flashing and the
horn from sounding. However, the courtesy lamps
will remain illuminated until either the BCM times
out lamp operation or until the turning of the igni-
tion. The panic feature will operate if the ignition is
ON, but only if the Panic button is pressed prior to
starting the vehicle. A vehicle speed of about 25.7
km/h (15 miles-per-hour) will also cancel the panic
event.
The RKE system can also perform other functions
on this vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), the
RKE transmitter will arm the VTSS when the Lock
button is depressed, and disarm the VTSS when the
Unlock button is depressed.
The RKE system includes two transmitters when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory, but the sys-
tem can retain the vehicle access codes of up to a
total of eight transmitters. If an RKE transmitter is
inoperative or lost, new transmitter vehicle access
codes can be programmed into the system using a
DRB IIItscan tool.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences. Customer programmable feature options
affecting the RKE system include:
²Automatic Door Lock- Customer programma-
ble feature that allows the BCM to perform an auto-
matic door lock if the vehicle speed is above 25.7
km/h (15 miles-per-hour).
²Automatic Door Unlock On Exit- Customer
programmable feature that allows the BCM to per-
form an automatic door unlock if the vehicle speed is
0, vehicle in park and driver door is opened.
²Flash Lights with Lock and Unlock- Allows
the option of having the park lamps flash as an opti-
cal verification that the RKE system received a valid
Lock request or Unlock request from the RKE trans-
mitter, or having no optical verification.
²Programming Additional Transmitters-
Allows up to a total of four transmitter vehicle access
codes to be stored.
²Remote Unlock Sequence- Allows the option
of having only the driver side front door unlock when
the RKE transmitter Unlock button is depressed the
first time. The remaining doors unlock when the but-
ton is depressed a second time within 5 seconds of
the first unlock press. Another option is having all
doors unlock upon the first depression of the RKE
transmitter Unlock button.
²Sound Horn on Lock- Allows the option of
having the horn sound a short chirp as an audible
verification that the RKE system received a validLock request from the RKE transmitter, or having no
audible verification.
OPERATION
POWER LOCKS
The Body Control Module (BCM) locks or unlocks
the doors when an actuation input signal from a door
lock switch, Central Lock key cylinder or Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) is received. The BCM turns on
the output drivers and provides a voltage level to the
door lock motor for a specified time.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
The RKE transmitter uses radio frequency signals
to communicate with the SKREEM module. The
SKREEM is on the PCI bus. When the operator
presses a button on the transmitter, it sends a spe-
cific request to the SKREEM. In turn, the SKREEM
sends the appropriate request over the PCI bus to
the following:
²Integrated Power Module (IPM)- to activate
the park lamps, the headlamps and the horn for the
horn chirp.
²Power Liftgate Module (PLGM)- to control
the liftgate lock and unlock functions.
After pressing the lock button on the RKE trans-
mitter, all of the door locks will lock, the illuminated
entry will turn off (if all doors are closed) and the
vehicle theft security system (if equipped) will arm.
Pressing the unlock button one time will unlock
the driver door, or all doors based on the customer
programmable feature enabled, the illuminated entry
will turn on the courtesy lamps and the vehicle theft
security system (if equipped) will disarm. Pressing
the unlock button a second time, the remaining door
locks will unlock.
If the vehicle is equipped with the memory system,
the memory message will identify which transmitter
(1 or 2) sent the signal.
ROLLING CODE
The rolling code feature changes part of the trans-
mitter message each time that it is used. The trans-
mitter message and the receiver message increment
together. Under certain conditions with a rolling code
system, such as pressing a button on the RKE trans-
mitter over 255 times outside of receiver range or
replacing the battery, the receiver and transmitter
can fall out of synchronization. To re-synchronize,
press and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE
transmitter repeatedly (it may take up to eight
cycles) while listening carefully for the power door
locks in the vehicle to cycle, indicating that resyn-
chronization has occurred.
RSPOWER LOCKS8N-21
POWER LOCKS (Continued)

The lock function works from the RKE transmitter
even in an out of synchronization condition, therefore
it could be verified by pressing the LOCK button on
the RKE key fob.
DOOR CYLINDER LOCK
SWITCH - EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
The Door Cylinder Lock Switch (If equipped) is
used to:
²Unlock/Lock all the doors via the Central Lock-
ing feature.
²Arm/Disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System.
²Trigger the Illuminated Entry feature.
The door cylinder lock switch is mounted to the
rear of the driver door lock cylinder. When installed
on the rear of the cylinder, there is a tab on the lock
cylinder that aligns with the switch to prevent it
from turning. An anti-rotating device. The door cylin-
der lock switch is a one time use switch. Once it is
removed from the rear of the door lock cylinder, it
may not be reinstalled and a new switch must be
used.
OPERATION
When the Door Cylinder Lock Switch is turned
either way using the door key cylinder, the BCM
reads a direct message signal from the switch.
If turning the key cylinder once, toward the front
of the vehicle, this will:
(1) Mechanically unlock the door lock.
(2) Disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System (if
equipped).
(3) Turn on the Illuminated Entry (if equipped) for
approximately 30 seconds.
If the key cylinder is turned to the unlock position
(toward the front of vehicle) twice within two sec-
onds, all the doors and liftgate will unlock (if
equipped with the central locking feature).
To lock the vehicle using the door cylinder lock
switch, turn the key cylinder toward the rear of the
vehicle once. This will lock the door that you are
using the key on. If equipped with the central locking
feature, this will lock all the other doors and liftgate.
Furthermore, this will arm the vehicle theft security
system and turn off the illuminated entry.
