Trunk / Liftgate: Description and Operation

WITHOUT KEYLESS ENTRY
When the vehicle is in the PARK position and the rear compartment lid release switch (Trunk) is pressed, voltage is supplied through circuit 56 by the switch. The rear compartment lid lock release actuator solenoid is energized releasing the rear compartment. When the vehicle is in a NON-PARK position the rear compartment lid lock release actuator solenoid is inactive and the rear compartment cannot he released.

WITH KEYLESS ENTRY
When the vehicle is in PARK, voltage is supplied to the rear compartment lid release relay through circuit 275. When the REAR COMPARTMENT button on the RKE Transmitter is pressed, ground is supplied to the rear compartment lid release relay through circuit 253. The solenoid (within the Rear Compartment Lid Release Relay) is energized and the rear compartment lid release relay contacts (within the rear compartment lid release relay) closes which in turn, sends voltage through circuit 56 to the rear compartment lid lock release actuator solenoid. When the rear compartment lid lock release actuator solenoid is energized the rear compartment releases. When the vehicle is in a NON-PARK position the rear compartment lid lock release actuator solenoid is not energized and the rear compartment cannot be released.
