DTC Descriptor

DTC B153E 08

- Power Liftgate Angle Sensor - External Signal Invalid

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The liftgate control module continuously monitors power liftgate operation and calculates its location and direction of travel using 2 inputs from the

liftgate position sensor. One input returns the position of the liftgate relative to the latch along the x-axis and the other returns the position of the

liftgate relative to the latch along the y-axis. The liftgate control module then uses these 2 inputs together to calculate its angle relative to the

liftgate latch.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The liftgate control module does not detect the angle inputs when the liftgate is in motion.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The liftgate will only be operational in the manual mode.

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

Note: 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 liftgate module loses power or is disconnected, the ignition must be cycled OFF then ON in order to reactivate the liftgate module.
