Flip Up Glass Latch - Malfunction

NUMBER: 08-018-01

GROUP: Electrical

DATE: Sep. 21, 2001

SUBJECT:
Software Improvement To Flip-Up Glass Unlatch Strategy

OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves reprogramming the Body Control Module (BCM).

MODELS:

2002 (KJ) Liberty

NOTE:
THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE JULY 12, 2001 (MDH 0712XX).

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

The customer may complain that the flip-up glass latch did not unlatch when the rear swing gate is first opened. This may cause the customer to have to unlock (by remote key fob, by using the key in the swing gate lock, or by pulling on the swing gate handle a second time) the swing gate a second time before the flip-up glass latch unlatches.

This condition may occur when the swing gate latch handle is pulled open immediately after the door locks have been unlocked (quick handle). The revised BCM software eliminates the delay between opening the swing gate and unlatching the flip-up glass latch.

DIAGNOSIS:

If a vehicle is in for any service, this TSB should be performed.





EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:

NOTE:
THE MDS2 MUST BE OPERATING AT CIS CD 2092.2092 ARRIVES IN DEALERSHIP OCTOBER 01, 2001.
