1. Power Liftgate Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

When calibrating the liftgate position, the liftgate control module (LGM) is placed in a functional state to learn the liftgate travel limits. DTC B1019 will set automatically as an indicator that the system is in learn mode and not as a fault indicator. Once the travel limits are learned by the LGM, the LGM will exit calibration mode and DTC B1019 will clear. If the LGM does not exit learn mode, DTC B1019 will remain current and indicate a fault. For more detailed information concerning power liftgate operation refer to Liftgate Description and Operation .

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B1019 will set when the liftgate control module is replaced or reprogrammed.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

The liftgate control modules travel limits will be unlearned.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
    • You issue a scan tool CLEAR DTCs command.
    • A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

Whenever the LGM is disconnected or loses power, the ignition must be cycled OFF then ON.

Circuit/System Testing

Perform the Liftgate Calibration Procedure. Refer to Liftgate Calibration Procedure . The liftgate module should learn the travel limits, exit the calibration mode, and DTC B1019 should clear.

If the liftgate module does not exit learn mode after the calibration attempt, replace the liftgate module.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
