Multipro tailgate inner gate issue

I had a message on my dash stating that the inner tailgate was open.  Even though it was closed I was unable to open my main tailgate because the bcm thinks the smaller gate is opened.  Then I bring it to the dealer after 2 days not working and as soon as they push the button, it worked.  It has happened to me again since and I just keep opening and closing the inner tailgate til the main one starts responding.  It might have to do with cold winter temperatures but still cant find it yet.  Need to figure out how the computer knows that the gate it closed or open.

Hey, up here in Winnipeg Mb. Stupid cold here. Had the same thing happen to me. Message said top gate open but wasn’t. Took it in and they found a faulty latch on right side of top gate.

Happened to me about a week ago. I’m in Winnipeg too. 

I opened the top gat, and bottom wouldn’t open. Closed top gate then bottom still wouldn’t open. My hand slipped when I closed to top gate and I’m assuming it never went up all the way and it wasn’t recognized that ur was closed but it was. It wasn’t slammed close but just softly latched. 

My fix was just pushing on the top gate and everything went back to normal. Been fine since.

Yes I was on TS. 

 

What was your handle there?

 

I got my 19 in October. Been flawless for the most part. Minor issue with park assist sensor after washing, but that’s it. 

Seems like the update issues are now fixed so I’ll be booking it in to get those rectified soon.

I apologize if someone else on this topic has already commented about a solution. I believe my friend and I have found the problem due to trial and error after we loaded a snowblower onto my truck and could not lower the tailgate. We believe the problem lies within the inner tailgate which is the smaller section of the tailgate on top that is able to fall down but the main gate will not. The inner tailgate has latch points on the right and on the left. if you take a hairdryer or heat gun and heat up those two areas you will have a fix to your problem. After being in cold temperature with snow and ice I believe what is happening is that condensation or moisture gets in those areas around the sensor and either refreezes or frosts over causing an error in the computer thinking that the tailgate is open.  Four times now we have tried the solution and it works like a charm every time. I bet you will see the correlation between dry days with no snow or ice and days that have it causing the error. I hope this helps everyone understand what’s going on or find a way to explain it to a technician.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
