Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation
Pinch Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
Pinch sensors (2) are located on each side of the liftgate (1). These sensors look like weather-strips, however they consist of pieces of electrically
conductive rubber (tapeswitch), wires, resistor, double sided tape, and a plastic carrier. They are used to indicate an obstruction during a power liftgate
close cycle. The right side pinch sensor contains a thermistor that is integral to the pinch sensor assembly. The thermistor is a temperature sensor used by
the power liftgate control module to enable proper liftgate operation in extreme climate conditions.
