Power Sliding Door Module: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 Power Side Door Components
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door system utilize a sliding door control module. The sliding door control module is located behind the sliding
door trim panel in the center of the door, just above the sliding door motor (Figure 1). This module controls the operation of the door through the
Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) data bus circuit and the Body Control Module (BCM). The sliding door control module contains software
technology which enables it to detect resistance to door travel and to reverse door travel in order to avoid damage to the door or to avoid possible
personal injury if the obstruction is a person. This feature functions in both the opening and closing cycles. If the power sliding door system develops any
problems the control module will store and recall Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The use of a diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRBIII(R) is required
to read and troubleshoot these trouble codes. The sliding door control module can be reflashed if necessary. Refer to the latest Technical Service Bulletin
(TSB) Information for any updates.
The power door control module is a replaceable component and cannot be repaired, if found to be faulty it must be replaced.
