2017 Escape – False DTC B1453 In Self Test When Activating The Rear Liftgate In Transport Mode
Some 2017 Escape vehicles equipped with power liftgate may generate a false DTC B1453 when activating the liftgate while in transport mode.
This false DTC has no impact on the function of the power liftgate and should be ignored.
Do not perform any diagnostics or repairs, and do not replace the Rear Gate Trunk Module(RGTM) or liftgate latch.
Deactivate transport mode per Workshop Manual(WSM) Section 419-10, clear DTC B1453 and verify that DTC B1453 is no longer present.
