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 doorpanel. 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.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.

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.

SLIDING DOOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
a sliding door control module. The sliding door con-
trol module is located behind the sliding door trim
panel in the center of the door, just above the sliding
door motor (Fig. 22). This module controls the opera-
tion of the door through the Programmable Commu-
nication Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus circuit and
the Body Control Module. The sliding door control
module contains software technology which enables it
to detect resistance to door travel and to reverse door
travel in order to avoid damage to the door or to
avoid possible personal injury if the obstruction is a
person. This feature functions in both the opening
and closing cycles. If the power sliding door system
develops any problems the control module will store
and recall Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The use
of a diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIItis
required to read and troubleshoot these trouble
codes. The sliding door control module can be
reflashed if necessary. Refer to the latest Technical
Service Bulletin (TSB) Information for any updates.
The power door control module is a replaceable
component and cannot be repaired, if found to be
faulty it must be replaced. Consult your MoparŸ
parts catalog for a specific part number.OPERATION
The power sliding door control module serves as
the main computer for the power sliding side door
system. All power door functions are processed
through the power door control module and/or the
vehicles body control module (BCM). At the start of a
power open command, a signal is sent to the BCM
and then to the power door control module via the
J1850 data bus circuit. This signal, generated by any
of the power door command switches, tells the power
door control module to activate a power latch release,
engage the clutch assembly and drive the door into
the full open position. If an obstacle is felt during
this power open cycle, the module will reverse direc-
tion and close the door. This process is also enabled
during a power close cycle. This process will repeat
three times, and if a fourth obstacle is detected, the
door will go into full manual mode. Once the full
open position is obtained, a hold open latch assembly
mounted full open switch tells the control module
that the door has reached the full open position. If
the power sliding door system develops any problems
the control module will store and recall Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC). The use of a diagnostic scan
tool, such as the DRB IIItis required to read and
troubleshoot these trouble codes.
