VEHICLE SECURITY (THEFT WARNING) SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
System DescriptionEIS002SE
DESCRIPTION
Operation Flow

Setting the vehicle security system
Initial condition

Ignition switch is in OFF position.
Disarmed phase

When the vehicle is being driven or when doors or glass hatch is open, the vehicle security system is set
in the disarmed phase on the assumption that the owner is inside or near the vehicle.
Pre-armed phase and armed phase

There are three conditions to enable the vehicle security system to turn into the "pre-armed" phase and
transition into armed phase. The initial requirements are that hood, glass hatch and all doors must be
closed (ignition key removed) for the transition to take place. Those three conditions are:
1. Locking vehicle with either front power door lock switch before exiting vehicle and closing all doors.
2. Using keyfob to lock already closed doors after leaving the vehicle.
3. Using driver key cylinder switch to lock already closed doors after leaving the vehicle.

Upon any of the above three steps taking place, the security indicator lamp illuminates for 30 seconds,
then the system automatically shifts into the "armed" phase.
Canceling the set vehicle security system
When one of the following operations is performed, the armed phase is canceled.
1. Unlock the doors with the key or the keyfob.
2. Open the power back door with the keyfob. When the power back door is closed after opening the power
back door with the keyfob, the system returns to the armed phase.
Activating the alarm operation of the vehicle security system
Make sure the system is in the armed phase.
When one of the following operations is performed, the system sounds the horns and flashes the headlamps
for about 50 seconds.
1. Engine hood, glass hatch or any door is opened before unlocking door with key or keyfob.
2. Door is unlocked without using key or keyfob.
3. Power back door is opened without using the keyfob.
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse [No.19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

Revision: August 20072004 QX56
When the hood switch is ON (hood is open) ground is supplied

to IPDM E/R terminal 41

through hood switch terminal 2

through hood switch terminal 1

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM ALARM OPERATION
The vehicle security system is triggered by

opening a door

opening the hood

opening the glass hatch

unlocking door without using the key or keyfob.
The vehicle security system will be triggered once the system is in armed phase,

when BCM receives a ground signal at terminals 12, 13, 47, 48 (door switch), terminal 42 (glass hatch ajar
switch) or terminal 43 [back door latch (door ajar switch)], or IPDM E/R terminal 41 (hood switch) receives
a ground signal.
Power is supplied at all times

to horn relay terminal 2

through 15A fuse (No. 25, located in fuse and fusible link box).
When the vehicle security system is triggered, ground is supplied intermittently

from IPDM E/R terminal 45

to headlamp high relay and

to horn relay terminal 1.
The headlamps flash and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after 50 seconds, but will reactivate if the vehicle is tampered with again.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
To deactivate the vehicle security system, a door must be unlocked with the key or keyfob.
When the key is used to unlock the front door LH, BCM terminal 22 receives signal

from terminal 14 of the main power window and door lock/unlock switch.
When the BCM receives this signal or unlock signal from keyfob, the vehicle security system is deactivated.
(Disarmed phase)
PANIC ALARM OPERATION
Remote keyless entry system may or may not operate vehicle security system (horn and headlamps) as
required.
When the remote keyless entry system is triggered, ground is supplied intermittently

from IPDM E/R terminal 45

to headlamp high relay and

to horn relay terminal 1.
The headlamp flashes and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when BCM receives any signal from keyfob.

AUTOMATIC BACK DOOR SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
System DescriptionEIS002SV
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 remote keyless entry 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, remote keyless entry 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 bat-
tery 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
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.
Remote Keyless Entry Operation (Fully Closed → Fully Open Operation)

When the remote keyless entry button is pressed for at least 0.5 seconds, back door control unit terminal
21 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 bat-
tery 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
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.

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.

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)

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 disable 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 disable switch position. If the back door disable switch is in the
OFF position, the back door operates in the open direction until it is fully open. If the back door disable
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.
