Circuit Description
The rear side door actuator control module uses the PSD detent switch to determine when the sliding door is open, ajar, or latched. The PSD detent switch is part of the sliding door latch assembly. The PSD detent switch sends ground signals to the rear side door actuator control module through circuit 1892 indicating when the sliding door is open, ajar, or latched (fully closed). The PSD detent switch receives its ground through circuit 750. Circuits 750 and 1892 are completed through the switch plate plungers and pads located on the B-pillar.
When the PSD is closing and the sliding door is about 30 cm (12 in.) from being closed, the rear side door actuator control module reduces power to the cable motor. This action slows down the movement of the sliding door. Once the switch plate plungers and pads make contact, circuits 750 and 1892 are completed and the rear side door actuator control module is able to monitor the door lock latch switch input.
When the sliding door latch moves from the open to the secondary latch (ajar) position, the PSD detent switch no longer sends a ground signal to the rear side door actuator control module, thus opening circuit 1892. This action signals the rear side door actuator control module that the sliding door has passed from the open door to the secondary latch (ajar) position. Upon detecting the door ajar position, the rear side door actuator control module sends full power to the cable motor.
As the sliding door continues to close, the sliding door latch moves from the ajar to the primary latch position. The PSD detent switch sends another ground signal to the rear side door actuator control module when the sliding door is between the secondary and primary latch position. This action signals the rear side door actuator control module that the sliding door has passed from ajar to door closed position. Then, the rear side door actuator control module disengages the clutch and de-energizes the cable motor.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The PSD has reached the full close (latched) position. |
| • | The PSD detent switch has not sent a toggle signal. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PSD will not power open using door handle. |
| • | The PSD is allowed to power open and close using open/close switch(es). |
| • | The rear side door actuator control module sets DTC 23 in memory. |
| • | The PSD alarm will sound when the transaxle is shifted out of PARK. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC 23 clears anytime the following actions occur:
| • | The sliding door is manually closed. |
| • | The PSD controller receives a valid ground signal for secondary and primary latch positions from the detent switch. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Perform the following: |
| • | Check the door rods/latch: Inspect, adjust or replace the door lock rods and linkage. Refer to Sliding Door Lock Rod Adjustment . Also, inspect, adjust or replace the rear latch. Refer to Sliding Door Rear Lock Replacement . |
| • | Repair the electrical noise: Check the pads/plungers for secure attachment to body/door; replace pouch in fasteners if necessary. Check of corrosion, water entry, dirty or sticking plungers; clean or replace plungers. Check ground circuits. Check the detent switch; replace if necessary. |
| • | Check the adjustment of the sliding door. Refer to Rear Side Door Up/Down Adjustment for up/down adjustment, Rear Side Door Front Edge In/Out Adjustment for door front edge in/out adjustment, or Rear Side Door Rear Edge In/Out Adjustment for door rear edge in/out adjustment. |
| • | Inspect for the following conditions: |
| - | Good interface of switch plate plungers and pads |
| - | An open in circuit 1892 |
| - | An open in circuit 750 |
| - | Poor G302 |
| - | A short to ground in circuit 1892 |
| - | A faulty PSD detent switch |
| • | An intermittent failure may be difficult to detect and to accurately diagnose. Faulty electrical connections or wiring causes most intermittent problems. When an intermittent condition is suspected, inspect the suspected circuits for the following conditions: |
| - | Poor mating of connector halves |
| - | Backed out terminals |
| - | Improperly formed or damaged terminals |
| - | Wire chafing |
| - | Poor wire-to-terminal connections |
| - | Dirty or corroded terminals |
| - | Damaged connector bodies |
| - | A broken wire inside the insulation |
| - | Does not latch to primary (AJAR) |
| - | Door almost closes then releases to full open |
| • | Use a J 35616 whenever a diagnostic procedure requests probing or inspecting a terminal. Using the J 35616 ensures that no damage to the terminal will occur. Using the J 35616 provides an estimate of whether the contact tension is sufficient. |
