STANDARD PROCEDURE - WELLNUT
REPLACEMENT
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
wellnuts. These wellnuts are used to hold and isolate
the power sliding door motor to and from the door
inner panel. The wellnut functions like a expandable
rubber core plug, as the screw fastener is threaded
into the wellnut and tightened the wellnuts diameter
increases. This secures the door motor assembly to
the inner panel and keeps the audible motor vibra-
tions to a minimum. If a wellnut shows signs of wear,
it must be replaced. Follow the procedure below if
replacement is necessary.
(1) Remove the door motor from the door inner
panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS/
MOTOR - REMOVAL) .
(2) Remove the wellnuts from the inner panel by
pulling them straight out (Fig. 4). If a wellnut is dif-
ficult to remove, use a high leverage cutting tool to
cut the wellnut in half and remove the two halves
from the door assembly.
(3) Install the replacement wellnuts in the inner
panel and install the door motor(Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/POWER DOORS/MOTOR - INSTALLA-
TION) .
CAUTION: Be certain to use the correct torque
specification (35 in.lbs.) when installing the door
motor retaining screws.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWER DOOR
LEARN CYCLE
Any time a power side door component is removed,
replaced, door adjustment is performed or diagnostic
trouble codes are addressed and erased, a learn cycle
mustbe performed. This learn cycle enables the
power side door control module to learn or relearn its
critical information (travel limits, resistance to door
travel, etc.) which allows it to perform properly and
safely. It also tells the technician that the system is
performing properly and is able to be returned to ser-
vice. To perform a power door learn cycle do the fol-
lowing:
(1) Obtain a DRB IIItscan tool.
Connect the DRB IIItto the vehicle and check for
any power side door system stored diagnostic trouble
codes, erase any stored codes. Operate the system
and check to see if any trouble codes return. If any
diagnostic trouble codes return, diagnose, correct and
erase the codes before performing the learn cycle. If a
DRB IIItscan tool is not available, the learn cycle
can be performed by opening and closing the power
side door using any of the normal open/close com-
mand switches. Be certain to cycle the side door
through a complete openandclose cycle or the pro-
cedure will not be complete.
(2) Using the DRB IIIt, Go into Test Routine
Menu and select a power open command.
(3) Select a power close command.
(4) The power side door learn cycle is complete.
NOTE: If the power side door will not complete a
full cycle a problem exists with the power side door
system. Refer to Power Side Door Diagnosis and
Testing.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - SLIDING DOOR
ADJUSTMENT
In order for the power sliding door system to func-
tion properly the door must move freely and
smoothly. The power sliding door system can accom-
modate for some minor changes in the effort required
to move the door. However, in extreme conditions the
door may need to be mechanically adjusted for proper
fit. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - SLIDING/SLID-
ING DOOR - ADJUSTMENTS) .
If a problem exists with the power sliding door and
it is suspected to be extreme effort, check for proper
door alignment and adjustment first, then check the
door tracks and drive unit for free manual operation.
Use a known good vehicle for side door comparison
data. Refer to the Side Door Adjustment procedure in
the Body section of the service manual for detailed
instructions.

SLIDING DOOR MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
a door motor assembly. The door motor is located in
the center of the side door (Fig. 7) and is comprised
of three parts. The three parts of the door motor
assembly are the motor, gear reduction and clutch
assembly. The door motor assembly provides the
power and torque to move the sliding door from the
open/closed position to full closed/open position, after
the power latching mechanism has released.
Special wellnuts and screws are used in the side
door inner panel to retain the door motor to the door
panel. Refer to Standard Procedures in this section
for additional wellnut information.The door motor is replaced as a complete assembly,
which includes the DC motor, gear reduction and
clutch assemblies. Consult your Mopar parts catalog
for specific part numbers.
OPERATION
With the push of a Power Side Door (PSD) com-
mand switch, the PSD control module will signal the
latch assembly to release the door from its primary
locked position. The drive motor will then take over
to provide the power to open the door to its full open
or closed position. The gear reduction portion of the
motor assembly reduces the speed of the motor from
5800 to 260 rpm and also increases the torque to the
lower drive unit. The clutch portion of the motor
assembly engages the motor to drive the door under
power and disengages it so the door can be moved
easily under manual operation.

FULL OPEN SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
a full open switch. This switch is located in the hold
open latch (Fig. 9) under the side door lower hinge.
When the power side door module receives a ground
signal input from the full open switch, and as long as
the cinching latch actuator is not in power mode or
the handle switch is open, the signal indicates that
the door is at the full open position.
The full open switch is incorporated into the hold
open latch. If the full open switch proves faulty, the
entire hold open latch assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
The full open switch is triggered by a pawl lever in
the hold open latch. When the full open switch is
closed (circuit to ground) the ratchet has engaged on
the hold open striker and the pawl lever has engaged
on the ratchet, locking the latch from opening and
holding the door in the full open position.

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE PASSEN-
GER AIRBAG, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS NO
SERVICEABLE PARTS.
The Passenger Airbag is located beneath the
instrument panel and pad assembly. The airbag is
mounted to the back side of the instrument panel
reinforcement.
The instrument panel top pad is the most visible
part of the passenger airbag system. Located under
the instrument panel top pad are the airbag door, the
passenger airbag cushion and the airbag cushion
supporting components.
The passenger airbag includes a magnesium hous-
ing within which the cushion and inflator are
mounted and sealed.
Following a passenger airbag deployment, the pas-
senger airbag and the instrument panel must be
replaced. The passenger airbag cannot be repaired,
and must be replaced if deployed or damaged in any
way.
OPERATION
The passenger airbag is equipped with two infla-
tors, each with three levels of pressure output. The
inflators seal the hole in the airbag cushion so it can
discharge the gas it produces directly into the cush-
ion when supplied with the proper electrical signal.
Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion
quickly deflates by venting this gas through the
cushion material towards the instrument panel.
The passenger airbag is secured with screws to the
instrument panel beneath the instrument panel top
pad and above the glove box opening. The instrumentpanel top pad above the glove box opening conceals
the airbag door and a predetermined hinge line
beneath its decorative cover. Upon airbag deploy-
ment, the top pad will bend at the hinge line and the
door will fold back out of the way onto the top of the
instrument panel.
WHEN THE FRONT AIRBAG SYSTEM IS
DEPLOYED BECAUSE OF A COLLISION, THE
FOLLOWING MUST BE REPLACED:
²COMPLETE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
²LOWER STEERING COUPLER
²STEERING WHEEL
²STEERING COLUMN CLOCK SPRING
²DRIVER AIRBAG COVER/HORN SWITCH
²DRIVER AIRBAG
²PASSENGER AIRBAG
²UPPER INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH PAD
CARE OF UNDEPLOYED AIRBAGS
Airbags must be stored in their original special
container until used for service. At no time should a
source of electricity be permitted near the inflator on
the back of an airbag. When carrying or handling an
undeployed airbag, the trim side of the airbag should
be pointing away from the body to minimize possibil-
ity of injury if accidental deployment occurs. Do not
place undeployed airbag face down on a solid surface,
the airbag will propel into the air if accidental
deployment occurs.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - DEPLOYED
PASSENGER AIRBAG CLEAN UP
Roll or fold the passenger airbag towards the
instrument panel surface and close the door over the
folded bag. Then tape the door shut.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual pow-
der from the vehicle interior. Work from the outside
in to avoid kneeling or sitting in a contaminated
area. Vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as well. If
HVAC was in RECIRC mode at time of airbag
deployment, operate HVAC blower on low speed/heat
and vacuum powder residue expelled from the heat
outlets. Multiple vacuum cleaning may be necessary
to decontaminate the interior of the vehicle.
SERVICE OF DEPLOYED AIRBAG
If a Passenger Airbag has been deployed, but not
due to a collision, replace the following:
²Passenger Airbag
²Upper instrument panel with pad
The component above must be replaced because
they cannot be reused. Inspect the heat duct near the
passenger airbag for any damage replace as neces-
sary. Replace any other passenger airbag system
components if damaged.
