The vehicle may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes B1454 and/or B1455. Prior to following Workshop Manual (WSM) diagnostic procedures, remove the liftgate left/right/center upper trim panels. Refer to WSM, Section 501-05 Interior Trim and Ornamentation > Removal and Installation. Disconnect C4173 and C4172 and verify the resistance of the anti-pinch switches. Refer to the Wiring Diagram, cell 109. If the resistance is below 5.58K ohms, replace the affected switch(s). If both anti-pinch switches measure above specification, perform a power liftgate initialization and re-evaluate the concern. Refer to WSM, Section 501-03 Body Closures > General Procedures.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10237796-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10237796-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10237796","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null}],"codes":["B1454","B1455"],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","year_from":2023,"year_to":2023,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2023_ford_escape"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
