FULL OPEN SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
a full open switch. This switch is located in the hold
open latch (Fig. 9) under the side door lower hinge.
When the power side door module receives a ground
signal input from the full open switch, and as long as
the cinching latch actuator is not in power mode or
the handle switch is open, the signal indicates that
the door is at the full open position.
The full open switch is incorporated into the hold
open latch. If the full open switch proves faulty, the
entire hold open latch assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
The full open switch is triggered by a pawl lever in
the hold open latch. When the full open switch is
closed (circuit to ground) the ratchet has engaged on
the hold open striker and the pawl lever has engaged
on the ratchet, locking the latch from opening and
holding the door in the full open position.

SLIDING DOOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
a sliding door control module. The sliding door con-
trol module is located behind the sliding door trim
panel in the center of the door, just above the sliding
door motor (Fig. 22). This module controls the opera-
tion of the door through the Programmable Commu-
nication Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus circuit and
the Body Control Module. The sliding door control
module contains software technology which enables it
to detect resistance to door travel and to reverse door
travel in order to avoid damage to the door or to
avoid possible personal injury if the obstruction is a
person. This feature functions in both the opening
and closing cycles. If the power sliding door system
develops any problems the control module will store
and recall Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The use
of a diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIItis
required to read and troubleshoot these trouble
codes. The sliding door control module can be
reflashed if necessary. Refer to the latest Technical
Service Bulletin (TSB) Information for any updates.
The power door control module is a replaceable
component and cannot be repaired, if found to be
faulty it must be replaced. Consult your MoparŸ
parts catalog for a specific part number.OPERATION
The power sliding door control module serves as
the main computer for the power sliding side door
system. All power door functions are processed
through the power door control module and/or the
vehicles body control module (BCM). At the start of a
power open command, a signal is sent to the BCM
and then to the power door control module via the
J1850 data bus circuit. This signal, generated by any
of the power door command switches, tells the power
door control module to activate a power latch release,
engage the clutch assembly and drive the door into
the full open position. If an obstacle is felt during
this power open cycle, the module will reverse direc-
tion and close the door. This process is also enabled
during a power close cycle. This process will repeat
three times, and if a fourth obstacle is detected, the
door will go into full manual mode. Once the full
open position is obtained, a hold open latch assembly
mounted full open switch tells the control module
that the door has reached the full open position. If
the power sliding door system develops any problems
the control module will store and recall Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC). The use of a diagnostic scan
tool, such as the DRB IIItis required to read and
troubleshoot these trouble codes.

DESCRIPTION
POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
The front doors, sliding door(s) and liftgate are
equipped with actuator motors to lock or unlock the
latch mechanisms. The door lock actuator motor is
not serviced separately from the door latch, except
for the sliding door(s).
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK
The vehicle comes with two options for power door
locks:
²Rolling automatic lock (ENABLE), doors auto-
matically lock at approximately at 25.7 Km/h (16
mph).
²No rolling automatic lock (DISABLE), doors do
not automatically lock when the vehicle is moving.
AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCK
The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles
equipped with power door locks if:
²Auto door locks feature is enabled and automatic
unlock is enabled.²The transmission was in gear and speed is above
zero.
²The transmission in park or neutral and speed
is zero.
²Any door (excluding liftgate) opens.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
The BCM cancels out the door lock switch actua-
tion, when the key is in the Ignition Switch and
either front door is open.
Pressing the key fob RKE lock/unlock under these
conditions results in normal lock/unlock activation.
CENTRAL LOCKING
If equipped with Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS), all the doors can be locked with the key by
using any of the door lock cylinders. Turning the key
to the lock position will lock all the doors.
DOOR LOCK CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The door lock system is protected by a 40 amp fuse
located in the IPM. The BCM receives lock/unlock
input and will turn on the appropriate drivers and
provide a voltage level to the door lock motor for a
specific time. The IPM is located along the side of the
vehicle battery in the engine compartment.
