located on the vehicles interior body side B-pillar
trim. The overhead console switch, is an open and
close command switch located in the vehicle's over-
head console. More detailed information can be found
on these components later in this section.
Safety is of the utmost concern with the power
sliding door system. Software technology has enabled
the power sliding door control module to detect resis-
tance to door travel. This allows the power sliding
door to stop and reverse direction any time an
obstruction is felt or any of the command switches
are operated (while closing only). Battery voltage is
supplied to the power sliding door system through a
40 amp fuse, located in the Intelligent Power Module
(IPM) assembly (Fig. 3). The child lockout switch pre-
vents children from opening or actuating the power
sliding door system when desired. In the unlikely
event that the power sliding door system develops a
fault, the power sliding door can still be operated
manually from the interior or exterior door handle,
just like a standard manual sliding door.
The power sliding door control module communi-
cates on the J1850 PCI Data Bus Circuit. Therefore,
the power sliding door control module can generate
and store its own diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). A
diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIItis used to
read and diagnose these trouble codes. Refer to the

WARNING: BE CERTAIN TO READ ALL WARNINGS
AND CAUTIONS IN POWER SLIDING DOOR OPER-
ATION BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE OF
POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM OR COMPO-
NENTS.
OPERATION
With the push of a power sliding door open/close
command switch (key fob, overhead console or B-pil-
lar mounted) a signal is sent out to the Body Control
Module (BCM). The BCM then sends a signal out on
the PCI Data Bus circuit (J1850) to the power sliding
door module. The power sliding door module then
signals the power sliding door latch to release the
door to the unlatched and movable position. The
motor then starts an open cycle.
During the door open cycle, if the power sliding
door module detects sufficient resistance to doortravel, such as an obstruction in the door's path, the
power sliding door module will immediately stop door
movement and reverse door travel to the full open or
closed position. The ability for the power sliding door
module to detect resistance to door travel is accom-
plished by hall effect sensors and the door motor
speed.
The power sliding door control module has the abil-
ity to learn. Anytime a door is opened or closed using
the power sliding door system the module learns
from its cycle. If a replacement power sliding door
component is installed or a door adjustment is made,
the module must re-learn the effort required to open
or close the door. A learn cycle can be performed with
a Diagnostic Scan Tool, such as the DRB IIIt, or with
a complete cycle of the door, using any one of the
command switches. Refer to Standard Procedures in
this section for detailed instructions.
The power sliding door system is designed with a
number of system inhibitors. These inhibitors are
necessary for safety and/or feasibility of the power
sliding door system. See the power sliding door sys-
tem inhibitors noted below:
POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM INHIBITORS
²The power sliding door must be in thefullopen
or closed position in order for the power sliding door
system to start a cycle. If the door is not in this posi-
tion (based on the input from the full open, pawl or
ratchet switches) the door control module will not
respond to command switch inputs.
²The vehicles transmission must be inpark or
neutralin order for the power sliding door system to
start a cycle.
²The vehicles child lockout switch must be in the
ªUNLOCKEDº position in order for the power sliding
door systems B-pillar switches to function.
²If multiple obstacles are detected during the
same power open or close cycle the power sliding
door may go into full manual mode.
²If severe Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are
stored in the power sliding door control module the
power sliding door may go into full manual mode.
²Due to the high pressure created in the passen-
ger compartment with the blower motor on high, the
power sliding door may not complete a power close
cycle unless a window is cracked, allowing the pres-
sure to escape. This situation will only be experi-
enced on some vehicles, or vehicles with brand new
side door weather seals installed. Refer to the Side
Door Adjustment procedure in the Standard Proce-
dures section of this group.
²The vehicles fuel tank filler door must be in the
closed position. Due to the sliding door interference
with the open fuel tank filler door, mechanical link-
age prevents the side door from opening and striking

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SLIDING
DOOR SYSTEM
The power opening and closing power sliding door
system is a complex system containing many compo-
nents and modules. In order to obtain conclusive
testing, the Programmable Communications Interface
(J1850) data bus network and all of the electronic
modules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs
from the power sliding door system must be checked.
The power sliding door system was designed to be
diagnosed with an appropriate diagnostic scan tool,
such as the DRB IIIt. The most reliable, efficient,
and accurate means to diagnose the power sliding
door system requires the use of a DRB IIItscan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.
The DRB IIItcan be used to observe various switch
statuses throughout the power sliding door system to
help the technician diagnose a defective switch or
component. The DRB IIItcan also be used to actuate
various components throughout the power sliding
door system to help the technician diagnose a defec-
tive component.
Before any testing of the power sliding door system
is attempted, the battery should be fully charged, all
built-in power sliding door system inhibitors read
and understood (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
DOORS - OPERATION) and all wire harness and
ground connections inspected around the affected
areas on the vehicle.
The following are quick reference diagnostic tables
to help when diagnosing and testing the power slid-
ing door system.

LATCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power side door or doors
utilize a power latch. One power latch is used for
each power door. The latch is located on the trailing
edge of the side door assembly (Fig. 5). This power
latch assembly is comprised of many different compo-
nents which have the ability to perform the power
cinch, release, lock, unlock and safety related opera-
tions. These components are the door latch, lock/un-
lock actuator, cinch/release actuator and child
lockout, pawl, ratchet and handle switches. The pawl
and ratchet switches are used to indicate the primaryand secondary latched positions. The cinch latch also
provides a connection point for the interior handle,
exterior handle and hold open latch cables.
The power latch is a replaceable component. Con-
sult your Mopar parts catalog for specific part num-
bers.
OPERATION
The power latch performs the same operation as a
full manual door latch as well as power cinch,
release, lock and unlock operations. The power latch
mounted actuator cinches the door closed and latches
it in its primary latched position. During a power
close cycle, the power cinch actuator will not operate
until the side door has reached its secondary latch
position (determined by pawl and ratchet switches).
During a power open cycle, the power release actua-
tor will stop once the side door has moved from pri-
mary latch position.
The power latch uses inputs from the lock/unlock
actuator, power side door control module and child
lockout, pawl, ratchet and handle switches to provide
safe power cinch and release operations. Refer to
Power Side Door Operation for additional informa-
tion.

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 thepower and torque to move the sliding door from the
open/closed position to full closed/open position, after
the power latching mechanism has released.
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.
