What was the symptom which caused you to have the car looked at by a
mechanic?

I have never heard of a tailgate sensor module in a 1992 Camry. What body
style and trim level is your Camry?

Where did you take your car for diagnostics and what is the problem with the
car?

He's gotta have a stationwagon, doesn't he?

If so, what would this module be responsible for, making sure there was no
strike between the gate and the window?

Since I have never heard of a tailgate sensor in a Toyota, I do not know
what it would be responsible for. Toyota uses logical names for its
sensors, and the name "tailgate sensor" suggests that the module senses the
presence of a tailgate. Perhaps I am giving people credit for too much
intelligence, but I think most people would know if there is a tailgate in
back of the car or not.

I think it is more likely that the OP is talking about the rear light
failure sensor, which is present in both sedans and wagons, which is why I
asked why the OP took the car in for diagnosis and year and model. I also
know that those sensors are very reliable and rarely fail. If an
independent service facility checks the bulbs and can't find one that is
burnt out, they might recommend changing the sensor without actually
checking the sensor, a sure sign of diagnostic incompetence or laziness.

By asking the OP questions, I try to get an idea of what they are trying to
fix and what repair attempts were made. With that additional information, I
can try to make an informed evaluation and provide useful advice.
