Description
DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 FULL OPEN SWITCH POSITION & ORIENTATION
The full open switch is located in the hold open latch(Figure 1) under the sliding door lower hinge. When the power sliding door control 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 is inoperative, the entire hold open latch assembly must be replaced.
Operation
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.
