B19DB - Right Power Sliding Door Close Direction Pawl Switch Performance






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to

When Monitored: Whenever the right power sliding door is performing a power close operation.

Set Condition: This code will set when the pawl switch has been detected before the door enters into secondary position during a closing operation.






Test Step 1 - Check For DTCs

If there are any power sliding door DTCs in the right door module, perform those test(s) first before proceeding with this test.

Turn the ignition ON.

With the scan tool, record the DTCs.

With the scan tool, erase the DTCs.

Turn the ignition OFF, wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition ON.

If possible, operate the right power sliding door several times.

With the scan tool, read the DTCs.

Does the scan tool still display B19DB - Right Power Sliding Door Close Direction Pawl Switch Performance?

Yes

Go to Test Step 2

No

Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for an intermittent condition.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to=> Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

Test Step 2 - Check the Right Power Sliding Door

Examine the right power sliding door for proper alignment, worn or binding rollers and hinges, loose/damaged weatherstrip, and track assembly for wear or anything that would cause an obstruction to proper operation.

Manually operate the right power sliding door on a known good vehicle and notice the effort needed to open and close for comparison.

Especially notice the effort needed to unlatch and close the right power sliding door.

Open the door and manually close the latch. Open and close the latch manually several times while observing the latch for any sticking conditions.

Were there any mechanical problems found?

Yes

Refer to service information for the related symptoms.

No

Go to Test Step 3

Test Step 3 - Right Pawl Switch Sense Circuit Short to Ground






Turn the ignition OFF.

Disconnect the right rear door module C2 connector.

Open the sliding door part way but manually fully close the door latch.

Measure the resistance between body ground and the right pawl switch sense circuit.

Is the resistance less than 10k ohms?

Yes

Go to Test Step 7

No

Go to Test Step 4

Test Step 4 - Right Pawl Switch Sense Circuit Open






Connect an ohmmeter between the right pawl switch sense circuit and the right power sliding door MUX return circuit in the module C2 connector.

Ensure the door latch is still in the fully closed position.

While observing the ohmmeter, manually open the door (latch).

Repeat this step several times while observing the ohmmeter.

As the latch changed from closed to open, did the resistance change from "O.L." (open loop) to less than 5.0 ohms each time the latch was opened and closed?

Yes

Replace the right door module.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

No

Go to Test Step 5

Test Step 5 - Right Pawl Switch Sense Wire for an Open






Remove the door module assembly.

Set the door module assembly on the vehicle floor.

Reconnect the C317 in line (Wire Track) connector.

Disconnect the door latch C1 connector.

Measure the resistance of the right pawl switch sense circuit between the door module C2 connector and the door latch C1 connector.

Is the resistance less than 2.0 ohms?

No

Repair the right pawl switch sense return circuit for an open.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Body Interior

Yes

Go to Test Step 6

Test Step 6 - Check the Power Sliding Door MUX Return Circuit






Measure the resistance of the power sliding door MUX return circuit between the right rear power sliding door latch C1 connector and the door module C2 connector.

Is the resistance less than 2.0 ohms?

Yes

Replace the right rear power sliding door latch assembly.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

No

Repair the right power sliding door MUX return circuit for an open.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

Test Step 7 - Right Pawl Switch Sense Circuit Short to Ground






Remove the door module assembly.

Set the door module assembly on the vehicle floor.

Reconnect the C317 In - line (Wire Track) connector.

Disconnect the door latch C1 connector.

Measure the resistance between body ground and the right pawl switch sense circuit.

Is the resistance less than 10k ohms?

Yes

Repair the right pawl switch sense circuit for a short to ground.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

No

Replace the right rear door latch assembly.
