Conditions for Setting the DTC

B153E 02

The LGM detects a short to ground in the liftgate motor assembly position sensor circuit.

B153E 05

The LGM detects a short to voltage or an open/high resistance in the liftgate motor assembly position sensor circuit.

B153E 08

The LGM does not detect optical sensor pulses when the liftgate is in motion.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The power liftgate system will be disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.

* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.

* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.

Diagnostic Aids

Important: Before testing can be performed the liftgate must be opened. Refer to Opening the Liftgate Without Electrical Power (See:

Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Service and Repair/Procedures) for the appropriate procedure.

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