Power Sliding Door Drive Assembly - Removal
REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting
any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel
component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the side impact sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its
calibration. The side impact sensor enables the system to deploy the side Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components. If an
impact sensor is accidentally dropped during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to
observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or improper side SRS component deployment.
