2. Engage the two tabs integral to the lower end of the PLGM housing into the slots in the lower left inner D-pillar.
3. Press the top of the PLGM housing against the lower left inner D-pillar far enough for the latch feature integral to the upper end of the PLGM housing to engage the clearance hole in the inner D-pillar.

NOTE: If a replacement power liftgate system component is installed or a mechanical liftgate adjustment is made, the PLGM must learn or relearn the effort and time required to open or close the liftgate. This learn/relearn cycle can be initiated using the power liftgate switches, using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOB with Integrated Key (FOBIK) or with a diagnostic scan tool connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
