Camaro Tailgate Hall Sensor Fault

I'm having trouble with my 2023 Chevrolet Camaro, gasoline engine. The tailgate hall sensor seems faulty. The error memory stores an error, and the tailgate won't open completely. Could it be the tailgate motor or sensor wiring? Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2023 Chevrolet Camaro owner experienced issues with the tailgate not opening completely due to a hall sensor fault. The problem was suspected to be related to the tailgate motor or sensor wiring. After checking the wiring with limited experience, the owner sought professional help. A garage diagnosed and fixed a defective plug connection, resolving the issue.

That sounds frustrating. A faulty hall sensor is common in power tailgates. Have you checked the sensor wiring and plug connections? A defective cable or loose plug could be the problem. Is the error message consistent, or does it appear sometimes?

I've checked the wiring as best I can, but I don't have much experience with car electrics. The error message appears every time I try to open the tailgate. Is there a specific area of the wiring or plug connection I should focus on? Can I test it without special tools?

Given the consistent error and your lack of experience with electrical systems, I'd suggest taking it to a qualified workshop. A professional can properly diagnose the hall sensor, sensor wiring, and plug connections. They'll be able to test the components thoroughly and pinpoint the problem. It's probably better than trying a repair yourself, which could cause more problems.

I took your advice and brought the Camaro to a local garage. It was a defective plug connection, as you suspected! They replaced it, cleared the error memory, and now the tailgate works perfectly. It cost me 95€, which I think is reasonable. Thanks again for your help!
