Second Generation XM (2011-2026) / Kia Sorento XM 2011-2026 Service Manual / Body Electrical System / Power Tailgate Module / Description

Power tailgate is an electro-mechanical system designed to provide power opening and closing of the tailgate through the push of a button of a remote key (fob), console switch, inner switch or an outside handle switch of the tailgate.

The power tailgate will reverse direction of travel if resistance to movement is detected while the tailgate is being opened or closed.

Tailgate Position And Direction

The PTG system will measure the Tailgate position via an integrated hall sensor inside the Spindle drive unit motor.

The moving direction of tailgate will be detected by analyzing the direction of the drive unit motor.

The hall sensor pulse counting (position detection) is active during power and manual operation mode.

System Components

1.	PTG Unit PTG unit is located in rear left luggage side trim. PTG drive unit drive the two actuators (Spindles) by measuring the driving motors. Anti pinch strips (ATS) does not contain any hall sensor. PTG controls the anti trap function by resistance analysis in the ATS.

2.	PTG Latch Assembly PTG latch assembly is consist of Power Latch (A) and Power Closeing Unit (B). Power latch is located in the lower part of tail gate panel.

3.	PTG Spindle PTG spindle open and close the tailgate by driving the motor.
