The automatic back door system must be initialized by fully closing the back door anytime the battery
power is lost to the back door control unit.
The automatic back door system consists of a one piece unit that combines the back door control unit along
with the back door motor, back door clutch and the back door encoder. The back door latch contains a lock
function that can control the two functions of automatic back door latch closure and electrical opener with a
single motor when you close the back door to the halfway-state.
• Back door auto closure
When the back door is closed to the halfway state (half-latch) position, the motor automatically drives to
rotate the latch lever and pull it in from half latched to full latched.
• Power back door
With the back door closed, press the power liftgate switch or press the keyfob button, or pull the back door
handle with the back door unlocked, the back door latch motor opens the locking plate and releases the
latch. The back door motor then raises the door to the full open position.
With the back door fully open, press the power liftgate switch, keyfob button or the back door close switch,
the back door motor closes the door to the half-latch state. The back door latch motor then drives the latch to
the full close position.
At the onset of each power open or power close application, the hazard lamps will flash 3 times and the
warning chime will sound 3 times lasting a total of 2 seconds.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION

ROOM LAMP TIMER OPERATION
When lamp switch is in DOOR position and all conditions below are met, BCM performs timer control (maxi-
mum 30 seconds) for interior room lamp and map lamp ON/OFF.
Power is supplied
• through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
• to key switch and key lock solenoid terminal 3.
Key is removed from ignition key cylinder (key switch OFF), power will not be supplied to BCM terminal 37.
Serial data is supplied
• to BCM terminal 22
• through main power window and door lock/unlock switch terminal 14.
At the time that front door LH is opened, BCM detects that front door LH is unlocked. It determines that interior
room lamp and map lamp timer operation conditions are met, and turns the interior room lamps ON for 30 sec-
onds.
Key is in ignition key cylinder (key switch ON), power is supplied
• through key switch and key lock solenoid terminal 4
• to BCM terminal 37.
When key is removed from key switch and key lock solenoid (key switch OFF), power supply to BCM terminal
37 is terminated. BCM detects that key has been removed, determines that interior room lamp and map lamp
timer conditions are met, and turns the interior room lamps ON for 30 seconds.
When front door LH opens → closes, and the key is not inserted in the key switch and key lock solenoid (key
switch OFF), BCM terminal 47 changes between 0V (door open) → 12V (door closed). The BCM determines
that conditions for interior room lamp operation are met and turns the interior room lamp ON for 30 seconds.
Timer control is canceled under the following conditions.
• Front door LH is locked [when locked by keyfob, main power window and door lock/unlock switch, or front
door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch)]
• Front door LH is opened (front door switch LH turns ON)
• Ignition switch ON.
