Sliding Door: Description and Operation

POWER SLIDING DOOR

The left and right power sliding door systems each have their own power sliding door (PSD) module and operate independently. Each PSD module has specific outputs to control the appropriate power sliding door operation. The control switches, smart junction box (SJB) park input, SJB vehicle speed input and SJB remote keyless entry (RKE) signal inputs are specific for each PSD module. The SJB park input is a ground supplied by the SJB when the vehicle is in PARK. The SJB vehicle speed input is also a ground supplied by the SJB when vehicle speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph). Both the SJB park input and the SJB vehicle speed input are required for power open operation. The overhead console on/off switch disables the B-pillar switches and the power assist operation (operation from the interior and exterior door handles and from manual movement).

The power sliding door system consists of the following components:
- power sliding door control switch (located in the overhead console)
- power sliding door control switch (located in the B-pillar trim panel)
- power sliding door drive assembly actuator (located behind the rear quarter trim panel)
- power sliding door module (located behind the rear quarter trim panel, attached to the drive assembly actuator)
