Rear tail gate operation

Hey folks, my rear gate operates normally on the motor, open and close, using the button on the dash. And closes normally using the button at the rear. When pressing the external button on the gate handle, the rear deck unlatches (I can hear it), but does not open automatically. Is this normal, or is a reset in order? Thanks

Sounds normal to me. On my second Sequoia and only three things automatically open the rear gate. Dash button, inside rear button, and key fob. That button always seemed strange to me. Be interested if someone else knows.

Yes, I believe it just unlatches and gives you the job of moving it up enough for the pistons to begin to actuate and take over. You don’t have to wait for the motor this way.
