Luggage Compartment (General)

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT (GENERAL)

The rear compartment release system consists of the following components:
- Rear compartment lid release switch
- TRK/REL relay
- Rear compartment lid release actuator
- Instrument panel cluster (IPC)
- Rear integration module (RIM)
- Drivers door module (DDM)

When the trunk release switch is pressed, the release switch grounds a switch input to the driver's window switch. The driver's window switch sends a signal to the drivers door module by a simple bus interface. The drivers door module sends a class 2 message to the rear integration module which grounds the control circuit of the trunk release relay in the rear fuse block for 1/2 second.

The trunk release relay is hot at all times through a 15 A fuse. When the trunk release relay is energized, the trunk release relay sends battery voltage to the trunk release actuator.
