1. Measure the body margins (rear panels for liftgate to vehicle body fit). Refer to the service manual section 501-35 for specifications.

2. If liftgate measurements are within specification, go to Step 3. If not, perform a liftgate alignment procedure (section 501-03).

3. Reprogram the LTM to the latest calibration using IDS release 85.02 and higher.
