Purpose, Function
The switch turns on/off in conjunction with the rotation of the latch lever, and it detects the open/closed condition of the liftgate by the voltage value which is changed by the rear body control module (RBCM).
Construction
The switch is turned on/off by the rotation of the latch lever.
