B-Pillar Switch

The B-pillar switches are located on the interior of the vehicle, on the B-pillar trim panels. These switches serve as an open and close command switch for the appropriate power sliding door.

When the B-pillar switch is depressed a signal is sent to the Body Control Module (BCM), this signal is then sent to the power sliding door control module, telling it to start a power open or close cycle. The child lockout feature must be disabled and the sliding door must be unlocked in order for the B-pillar switch to function.
