NX Tailgate Hall Sensor Error

I've got a 2023 Lexus NX with a gasoline engine and about 20574 km on the clock. Recently, the automatic tailgate doesn't always open fully, and the error memory shows a fault related to the tailgate hall sensor. I'm suspecting a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone else run into this? Any thoughts on sensor calibration or common wiring issues before I throw parts at it?

I had a similar problem with my NX. Check the sensor wiring first. Sometimes, the connections can get loose or corroded. It might be a simple fix. Does the tailgate motor sound normal when it's trying to open?

Thanks for the quick reply! The motor sounds okay, but I'll definitely check the wiring and connections more thoroughly. Did yours throw the same hall sensor error? Was it difficult to access the wiring?

Yes, it was the hall sensor error for me too. Accessing the wiring wasn't too bad, but honestly, if you're not comfortable with electrical work, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. Could save you a bigger headache.

Appreciate the advice! I took it to the workshop and you were spot on - faulty connection. They re-seated the plug and calibrated the sensor. Cost me 95€, much better than replacing the motor. Thanks again!
