LATCH ACTUATOR
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate utilize a power cinch latch or power release latch . The power cinch and/or power release is made possible
by a latch actuator attached to the leading edge of the power latch assembly. This 12 volt latch actuator contains a small drive gear that meshes
with the latch assemblies internal gears to perform the power cinch close / power release operations. Refer to the Latch assembly for more
information.
The power cinch/release actuator is serviceable component. Consult your Mopar(TM) parts catalog for specific part numbers.
During a power close cycle, the power cinch actuator provides the torque required to close the power liftgate from the secondary to the primary
closed and latched position. During a power open cycle, the power release actuator releases the liftgate from the primary closed and latched
position to the fully unlatched and movable position.
