Back Door Handle Switch Operation (Fully Closed → Fully Open Operation)

When the back door handle is pulled, back door control unit terminal 26 receives the signal.

The back door control unit checks that the back door is unlocked and checks the A/T selector lever (P
position) through terminal 18, vehicle speed through terminal 21, ignition status through terminal 7, glass
hatch is closed, battery voltage and back door close switch position through terminal 13.

When the back door control unit receives the signal, if all auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a 5 volt signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime, sends
a signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps and unlocks the back door latch through
terminal 12.

The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and moves the
back door in the open direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)

When the back door is opened to the full-open position, the full-open position is detected by the encoder,
and the back door control unit switches the back door motor OFF and the magnetic clutch is pulsed and
then turned OFF.

The back door is held in the fully open position by the gas stays.
Power Liftgate Switch Operation (Fully Open → Fully Closed Operation)

When the power liftgate switch is pressed, the back door control unit terminal 23 receives the signal.

The back door control units checks door position through the rotary encoder.

When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime and sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps.

The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and move the
back door in the close direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)

When the back door reaches the half-latch state, the half-latch switch detects this and the signal is sent to
the back door control unit terminal 22.

When the back door control unit receives the half latch switch signal, it switches OFF the back door motor
and the magnetic clutch and operates the cinch latch motor.

When the back door latch operates and full close is detected through terminal 14 of the back door control
unit, the cinch latch motor reverses to the neutral position and the back door auto closure operation ends
and the door is fully closed.
Remote Keyless Entry Operation (Fully Open → Fully Closed Operation)

When the remote keyless entry switch is pressed for at least 0.5 seconds, the back door control unit termi-
nal 21 receives the signal.

The back door control units checks door position through the rotary encoder.

When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime and sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps.

The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and move the
back door in the close direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)

When the back door reaches the half-latch state, the half-latch switch detects this and the signal is sent to
the back door control unit terminal 22.

When the back door control unit receives the half latch switch signal, it switches OFF the back door motor
and the magnetic clutch and operates the cinch latch motor.

When the back door latch operates and full close is detected through terminal 14 of the back door control
unit, the cinch latch motor reverses to the neutral position and the back door auto closure operation ends
and the door is fully closed.

Back Door Close Switch Operation (Fully Open → Fully Closed Operation)

When the back door close switch is pressed, the back door control unit terminal 8 receives the signal.

The back door control units checks back door close switch terminal 13 status and door position (must be
fully opened), through rotary encoder and battery voltage.

When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime and sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps.

The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and move the
back door in the close direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)

When the back door reaches the half-latch state, the half-latch switch detects this and the signal is sent to
the back door control unit terminal 22.

When the back door control unit receives the half latch switch signal, it switches OFF the back door motor
and the magnetic clutch and operates the cinch latch motor.

When the back door latch operates and full close is detected through terminal 14 of the back door control
unit, the cinch latch motor reverses to the neutral position and the back door auto closure operation ends
and the door is fully closed.
Reversal

If the power liftgate switch, remote keyless entry switch or the back door close switch is pressed during
back door power open and close operation, the back door will reverse direction.

If the outside handle switch is pulled during power open or power close, the power back door will automat-
ically stop and go to manual mode.
Anti-Pinch Function

During auto open or close operation, if an object is detected in the door's path, the back door operates in
the reverse direction until fully closed or open to prevent pinching.

During auto close operation, if an object is detected by the pinch strips in the door's path, the back door
operates in the open direction until it is fully open.

During auto cinch latch operation, if an object is detected by the pinch strips in the door's path, the back
door operates depending on the back door close switch position. If the back door close switch is in the
OFF position, the back door operates in the open direction until it is fully open. If the back door close
switch is in the ON position, the back door will reverse only until the latch is fully released.

If the pinch strips are present but are not functioning properly (permanently sensing a pinch), the auto-
matic back door system will operate in the open direction only.

If the pinch strips are not connected to the automatic back door system, it will not operate.
Gas Stay Check

During each power open operation, the back door control unit monitors motor current draw to determine if
the gas stays are functioning properly.

If a failure of the gas stays is detected, the back door control unit will close the back door while sounding
the warning chime.
Warning Functions

The warning chime is sounded according to the back door operating state, operations, and conditions.
