P Reversal
The door will reverse direction during power open or close operation if the automatic door main switch, keyfob
or back door close switch is operated. A chime will sound to announce the reversal.
Anti-Pinch Function
• During auto operation, if an object is detected in the door's path, a warning chime sounds and the back door
operates in the reverse direction to prevent pinching.
• During auto close operation, if an object is detected by the pinch strips in the door's path, a warning chime
sounds and the back door operates in the open direction until it is fully open.
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 malfunction of the gas stays is detected, the back door control unit will close the back door while sound-
ing the warning chime. The back door cannot be opened using the switches until the gas stay malfunction is
repaired.
Warning Functions
• The hazard warning lamps flash and a warning chime is sounded according to the back door operating state,
operations, and conditions.

Self-Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003532964
INPUT SIGNAL CHECK MODE
Input signal check mode allows testing of switch input signal to the back door control unit.
To activate input signal check mode on the automatic back door, perform the following steps:
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn back door close switch to CANCEL (system cancelled).
3. Place A/T selector lever in P position.
4. Using the inside emergency release lever, open the back door.
5. Have an assistant press and hold the back door handle switch.
6. While the assistant continues to hold the back door handle switch, turn ignition switch ON (DO NOT start
engine).
7. After approximately 5 seconds, the back door warning chime will sound for 0.5 seconds.
8. Release the back door handle switch.
9. Within 8 seconds of the back door warning chime sounding, press and hold the power liftgate switch.
10. After approximately 5 seconds, the back door warning chime will sound for 1 second.
11. Release the power liftgate switch.
12. The input signal check mode is now initialized.
The input signal check mode can test the following inputs. The back door warning chime will sound for approx-
imately 0.5 seconds each time a switch signal input occurs. Use this test when one of these inputs is not
responding during normal automatic back door operation.
*Back door warning chime should sound as soon as vehicle moves.
Turn ignition switch OFF to end input signal check mode.
OPERATING CHECK MODE
Operating check mode allows self-diagnosis of the automatic back door system.
To activate operating check mode on the automatic back door, perform the following steps:
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn back door close switch to CANCEL (system cancelled).
3. Place A/T selector lever in P position.
4. Using the inside emergency release lever, open the back door.
