SUBJECT:
POWER SLIDING DOOR REMOTE CONTROLLER MOTOR REPLACEMENT
On some Sedona (VQ) vehicles, a Power Sliding Door (PSD) may not open when using an overhead console switch, "B" pillar switch or remote control button. When this concern is accompanied by a body DTC such as B2450, the PDS Remote Controller Actuator Motor could be the cause.
Follow the diagnostic procedure in the service information: Body Electrical System > Power Door Locks > Power Door Lock Actuator. If it is determined that the actuator motor is defective, it is only necessary to replace the actuator motor with part number 81447 4D500. Do Not replace the Remote Controller Assembly for this concern.
Replace the remote controller actuator motor only on the affected side.
Complete repair details are provided in this TSB.
Disassembly Procedure:
1. If it is determined that the power sliding door remote controller motor is defective, follow the instructions provided in Kia's Global Information System (KGIS) to remove the door trim and controller assembly before bench repairing the controller unit.
Removed PSD remote controller is shown here along with the location of release motor drive assembly.
2. Remove the seven screws holding the cover and drive assembly in place. There are 4 short screws and three long screws. The longer screws attach the motor assembly to the controller.
NOTICE
3. Carefully separate the cover from the drive assembly as shown. Be especially careful not to damage or misplace the seal.
NOTICE
4. While holding the motor in place, use small needle-nose pliers to carefully disconnect the wiring from the motor. The blade style connectors easily pull straight up and out.
NOTICE
5. Remove the motor from the drive assembly.
NOTICE
Be careful not to misplace the motor's white nylon end support bearing!
Installation Procedure:
1. NOTICE While reinstalling the motor, make sure that the white nylon support bearing projections are facing out towards the cover. Failure to do this may result in noise and/or the gear damage.
Reinstall the motor making certain that the small nylon support bearing is properly installed as indicated above.
Reinstall the wiring observing proper polarity, otherwise the drive assembly will not work properly.
2. Reinstall the cover making sure the seal is properly in place, and that the proper length screws are installed in the proper positions. Do NOT pinch the wiring between cover and housing!
NOTICE
3. Reinstall the remote controller and all door trim in the reverse order of removal.
4. Erase any codes that were generated by the previous faulty motor assembly.
5. Test the power sliding door for proper operation using the center overhead console switch, the "B" pillar switch, and the remote control button.
