Honda Pilot: Power Tailgate Closer Motor Test
Honda Pilot 2016-2022 (YF5/YF6) Service Manual / Parts Test Info / Power Tailgate Closer Motor Test
Test
1. Tailgate Lower Trim Panel - Remove
2. Power Tailgate Closer Motor - Test
- Disconnect the connector A.
- Test the motor operation by connecting battery power to the
tailgate closer unit connector A terminal No. 2 and ground
to the terminal No. 1. To prevent damage to the motor,
apply battery voltage only momentarily. The motor should
run.
- If the motor does not run or fails to run smoothly, the power
tailgate closer motor is faulty; replace the tailgate latch
assembly (A).
3. All Removed Parts - Install
- Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
Power Tailgate Control Unit Input Test
NOTE:
- Before testing, check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, troubleshoot
those DTCs first.
- If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the
instructions in B-CAN
System
Diagnosis Test Mode A.
- Before testing, make sure the No. A26 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood
fuse/relay box is OK.
- Before testing, make sure the No. C28 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box is OK.
- Before testing, make sure the No. B1-4
(40 A) and No. B6 (20 A) fuses in the auxiliary under-hood
fuse/relay box are OK.
1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Disconnect the power tailgate control unit connectors.
NOTE: All connector views are shown from the wire side of the female terminals.
3. Inspect the connectors and socket terminals to be sure they are all making
good contact:
- If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary,
and recheck the
system.
- If the terminals are OK, go to step 4.
4. Reconnect the connectors, and do the following input tests:
