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
Power Liftgate Switch Operation (Fully Closed → Fully Open Operation)
• When the power liftgate switch is pressed, back door control unit terminal 23 receives the signal.
• The back door control unit 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 through terminal 17 and battery
voltage is present through terminal 3.
• When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the 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 ter-
minal 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

• to combination meter terminal 8.
Ground is supplied
• to BCM terminal 67 and
• to combination meter terminal 17
• through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
When the remote keyless entry system is triggered by input from the keyfob, the BCM, interpreting it as turn
signal is ON, outputs turn signal from BCM terminals 60 and 61.
The BCM supplies power
• through BCM terminals 60 and 61
• to front turn/fog lamp LH and RH terminal 2
• through front turn/fog lamp LH and RH terminal 3
• to grounds E9, E15 and E24,
• to door mirror LH and RH terminal 15
• through door mirror LH and RH terminal 11
• to grounds M57, M61 and M79,
• to rear turn signal lamp LH terminal 1
• through rear turn signal lamp LH terminal 3
• to grounds B7 and B19, and
• to rear turn signal lamp RH terminal 4
• through rear turn signal lamp RH terminal 6
• to grounds B117 and B132.
BCM sends signal to combination meter through CAN communication lines, and turns on turn signal indicator
lamps within combination meter.
With power and input supplied, the BCM controls the flashing of the hazard warning lamps when keyfob is
used to activate the remote keyless entry system.
