Failure Inspection
Inspection and Test – Smart Tailgate System
Smart Tailgate system is a complex system consists of many components. To get an accurate test and result, the control module of the Smart Tailgate must be inspected.
The most trustworthy, effective and accurate method is using GDS required by smart tailgate.
GDS helps the technician in case of inspecting a switch which he or she cannot use, and enables to check the current status record of the switch of Smart Tailgate control module.
The battery must be fully charged before conducting all of the test on smart tailgate, and all of the interfering elements of the system must be shown and understood. (refer to the explanation of smart tailgate) Refer to the analysis reference table when inspecting and testing the smart tailgate.
