Kix tailgate hall sensor error

Hey, I've got a 2012 Nissan Kix with a gasoline engine that's giving me a headache. The mileage is currently sitting at 47806 km. I'm getting an error stored related to the tailgate hall sensor. As a result, the automatic tailgate isn't opening completely. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection, has anyone dealt with anything similar?

Hall sensor issue on a Kix tailgate? Seems odd. You sure it's not just a weak strut? Have you checked the basic wiring for continuity?

Thanks for the reply. I've checked the struts, they seem fine, and the movement is smooth for the part that it opens. How would I go about testing the hall sensor itself and the connection? What voltage should I be seeing?

Testing the hall sensor without the proper tools and knowledge can be tricky. Given the error code and your symptoms, and you suspect the wiring, it's likely the issue. Best bet is to get it to a workshop before you cause more issues.

Alright, thanks for confirming my suspicions. Took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. Turns out it was a faulty connection as we initially thought. Repair cost me 95€. Appreciate the help!
