Power Sliding Door Drive Assembly: Service and Repair
Power Sliding Door Drive Assembly - Installation
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, 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 SRS. 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.
NOTE: The service power sliding door drive assembly does not include the Power Sliding Door Control Module (PSDM). The PSDM must be
transferred from the original drive assembly to the new service part. See: Power Sliding Door Module/Service and Repair/Power Sliding Door
