DETAILED FLOW
1. OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT SYMPTOM
Interview the customer to obtain the malfunction information (conditions and environment when the malfunc-
tion occurred) as much as possible when the customer brings the vehicle in.
>> GO TO 2
2. REPRODUCE THE MALFUNCTION INFORMATION
Check the malfunction on the vehicl e that the customer describes.
Inspect the relation of the symptoms and the condition when the symptoms occur.
>> GO TO 3
3. IDENTIFY THE MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM WITH “SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS”
Use “Symptom diagnosis” from the symptom inspection re sult in step 2 and then identify where to start per-
forming the diagnosis based on possible causes and symptoms.
>> GO TO 4
4. IDENTIFY THE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS WITH “COMPO NENT DIAGNOSIS”
Perform the diagnosis with “Component di agnosis” of the applicable system.
>> GO TO 5
5. REPAIR OR REPLACE THE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS

1.GET INFORMATION FOR SYMPTOM
Get the detailed information from the customer about the symptom (the condition and the environment when
the incident/malfunction occurred).
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK DTC
1. Check DTC.
2. Perform the following procedure if DTC is displayed.
- Record DTC and freeze frame data (Print them out with CONSULT-III.)
- Erase DTC.
- Study the relationship between the cause detected by DTC and the symptom described by the customer.
3. Check related service bulletins for information.
Is any symptom described and any DTC detected?
Symptom is described, DTC is displayed>>GO TO 3.
Symptom is described, DTC is not displayed>>GO TO 4.
Symptom is not described, DTC is displayed>>GO TO 5.
3.CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Confirm the symptom described by the customer.
Connect CONSULT-III to the vehicle in “DATA MONI TOR” mode and check real time diagnosis results.
Verify relation between the symptom and t he condition when the symptom is detected.
>> GO TO 5.
4.CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Confirm the symptom described by the customer.
Connect CONSULT-III to the vehicle in “DATA MONI TOR” mode and check real time diagnosis results.
Verify relation between the symptom and t he condition when the symptom is detected.
>> GO TO 6.
5.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
Perform DTC Confirmation Procedure for the display ed DTC, and then check that DTC is detected again.
At this time, always connect CONSULT-III to the vehicle, and check diagnostic results in real time.
If two or more DTCs are detected, refer to DLK-169, "
DTCInspectionPriorityChart" and determine trouble
diagnosis order.
NOTE:
• Freeze frame data is useful if the DTC is not detected.
• Perform Component Function Check if DTC Confirmation Procedure is not included in Service Manual. This
simplified check procedure is an effective alternat ive though DTC cannot be detected during this check.
If the result of Component Function Check is NG, it is the same as the detection of DTC by DTC Confirma-
tion Procedure.
Is DTC detected?
Yes >> GO TO 7.
No >> Refer to GI-38, "
Intermittent Incident".
6.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING SYST EM BY SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
Detect malfunctioning system according to SYMPTO M DIAGNOSIS based on the confirmed symptom in step
4, and determine the trouble diagnosis order based on possible causes and symptom.
>> GO TO 7.
7.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PA RT BY DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Inspect according to Diagnostic Procedure of the system.

• 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 det ected through terminal 14 of the back door control
unit, the cinch latch motor reverses to the neutral position and the back door aut\
o closure operation ends
and the door is fully closed.
Remote Keyless Entry Operation (Fully Open → Fully Closed Operation)
• When the remote keyless entry switch is pressed for at least 0.5 seconds, the back door control unit terminal
21 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 m agnetic clutch and the back door motor and move the
back door in the close direction. (At this time, it al so 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 det ected through terminal 14 of the back door control
unit, the cinch latch motor reverses to the neutral position and the back door aut\
o closure operation ends
and the door is fully closed.
Back Door Close Switch Operation (Fully Open → Fully Closed Operation)
• When the back door close switch is pressed, the ba ck door control unit terminal 8 receives the signal.
• The back door control units checks back door close 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 m agnetic clutch and the back door motor and move the
back door in the close direction. (At this time, it al so 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 det ected through terminal 14 of the back door control
unit, the cinch latch motor reverses to the neutral position and the back door aut\
o closure operation ends
and the door is fully closed.
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 ifthe 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 usi ng 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.
