瀚慖f not the specified value, replace the liftgate handle switch.
3. Test for less than 2 ohms between the signal terminal A and the low reference terminal B with the switch in the closed position.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, replace the liftgate handle switch.
Liftgate Close Switch
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the liftgate close switch.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal D and the low reference terminal A with the switch in the open position.
瀚慖f not the specified value, replace the liftgate close switch.
3. Test for less than 2 ohms between the signal terminal D and the low reference terminal A with the switch in the closed position.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, replace the liftgate close switch.

DTC Descriptor
DTC B2494 00
- Liftgate Handle Switch Circuit
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The liftgate release switch is an input to the body control module (BCM). The BCM monitors the signal circuit and when the release switch is
activated the signal circuit voltage goes low. The BCM controls the liftgate release actuator through the liftgate latch release relay. When the
release switch signal is activated, the BCM enables the liftgate latch release relay by applying battery voltage to the liftgate latch release relay
supply circuit and the relay is energized when the BCM grounds the liftgate latch release relay control circuit. When the relay is energized battery
voltage is supplied to the liftgate release actuator through the liftgate release actuator control circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is 9-16 volts.
