STGM Opening Process
- Opening will start after signals from crash pad lower switch, tailgate handle switch, or wireless remote key (FOB) are received.
- The latch motor will unlatch the tailgate by releasing the striker (via the SJB).
- To open the tailgate, the STG module will activate the tailgate spindle motors.
- The speed of the spindle motors is monitored via a hall sensor in the motor.
- Opening angle of the tailgate will be calculated from the number of pulses of the hall sensor.
CAUTION:
When the motor's movement is restricted STGM will sense it as an obstacle and either reverse in opposite direction or halt the motor movement.
