DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SLIDING
DOOR SYSTEM
The power opening and closing power sliding door
system is a complex system containing many compo-
nents and modules. In order to obtain conclusive
testing, the Programmable Communications Interface
(J1850) data bus network and all of the electronic
modules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs
from the power sliding door system must be checked.
The power sliding door system was designed to be
diagnosed with an appropriate diagnostic scan tool,
such as the DRB IIIt. The most reliable, efficient,
and accurate means to diagnose the power sliding
door system requires the use of a DRB IIItscan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.
The DRB IIItcan be used to observe various switch
statuses throughout the power sliding door system to
help the technician diagnose a defective switch or
component. The DRB IIItcan also be used to actuate
various components throughout the power sliding
door system to help the technician diagnose a defec-
tive component.
Before any testing of the power sliding door system
is attempted, the battery should be fully charged, all
built-in power sliding door system inhibitors read
and understood (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
DOORS - OPERATION) and all wire harness and
ground connections inspected around the affected
areas on the vehicle.
The following are quick reference diagnostic tables
to help when diagnosing and testing the power slid-
ing door system.

LATCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power side door or doors
utilize a power latch. One power latch is used for
each power door. The latch is located on the trailing
edge of the side door assembly (Fig. 5). This power
latch assembly is comprised of many different compo-
nents which have the ability to perform the power
cinch, release, lock, unlock and safety related opera-
tions. These components are the door latch, lock/un-
lock actuator, cinch/release actuator and child
lockout, pawl, ratchet and handle switches. The pawl
and ratchet switches are used to indicate the primaryand secondary latched positions. The cinch latch also
provides a connection point for the interior handle,
exterior handle and hold open latch cables.
The power latch is a replaceable component. Con-
sult your Mopar parts catalog for specific part num-
bers.
OPERATION
The power latch performs the same operation as a
full manual door latch as well as power cinch,
release, lock and unlock operations. The power latch
mounted actuator cinches the door closed and latches
it in its primary latched position. During a power
close cycle, the power cinch actuator will not operate
until the side door has reached its secondary latch
position (determined by pawl and ratchet switches).
During a power open cycle, the power release actua-
tor will stop once the side door has moved from pri-
mary latch position.
The power latch uses inputs from the lock/unlock
actuator, power side door control module and child
lockout, pawl, ratchet and handle switches to provide
safe power cinch and release operations. Refer to
Power Side Door Operation for additional informa-
tion.

SLIDING DOOR MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
a door motor assembly. The door motor is located in
the center of the side door (Fig. 7) and is comprised
of three parts. The three parts of the door motor
assembly are the motor, gear reduction and clutch
assembly. The door motor assembly provides thepower and torque to move the sliding door from the
open/closed position to full closed/open position, after
the power latching mechanism has released.
The door motor is replaced as a complete assembly,
which includes the DC motor, gear reduction and
clutch assemblies. Consult your Mopar parts catalog
for specific part numbers.
OPERATION
With the push of a Power Side Door (PSD) com-
mand switch, the PSD control module will signal the
latch assembly to release the door from its primary
locked position. The drive motor will then take over
to provide the power to open the door to its full open
or closed position. The gear reduction portion of the
motor assembly reduces the speed of the motor from
5800 to 260 rpm and also increases the torque to the
lower drive unit. The clutch portion of the motor
assembly engages the motor to drive the door under
power and disengages it so the door can be moved
easily under manual operation.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.

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.
