Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Tests the rear side door actuator control module for the optical sensor 5-volt reference and ground.
  2. 3:  Tests the optical sensor signal circuit. While the door is moving at the approximate power operating speed the average voltage measured should be 2-3 volts.
  3. 4:  Tests the optical sensor signal circuit. While the door is moving at the approximate power operating speed the average voltage measured should be 2-3 volts.

1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2 
  1. Turn the power sliding door (PSD) ON/OFF switch to the OFF position to exit the on-board diagnostic modes.
  2. Manually close the PSD.
  3. Using a digital voltmeter backprobe the optical sensor connector from the 5-volt reference circuit to the low reference circuit.
  4. Manually open the PSD.
Is the voltage the specified value?		 5 V Go to Step 3  Go to Step 7 
3 
  1. Using a digital voltmeter backprobe the optical sensor from the terminal 3 signal circuit to the low reference circuit.
  2. Slowly move the PSD from open to closed.
Is the voltage within the specified values?		 0.01-4.5 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5 
4 
  1. Using a digital voltmeter backprobe the optical sensor from the terminal 4 signal circuit to the low reference circuit.
  2. Slowly move the PSD from closed to open.
Is the voltage within the specified values?		 0.01-4.5 V Go to Step 7  Go to Step 5 
5 Inspect and if possible repair any damage to the optical sensor pigtail harness or connector. Refer to Wiring Repairs andConnector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 9  Go to Step 6 
6 Replace the actuator motor and clutch assembly. Refer to Motor Clutch Replacement - Power Sliding Door (With RPO E58)  or Motor Clutch Replacement - Power Sliding Door (With RPO E59) .
Is the repair complete?		 - Go to Step 9  -
7 Inspect for poor connections at the rear side door actuator control module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
8 Replace the rear side door actuator control module. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming.
Is the repair complete?		 - Go to Step 9  -
9 Re-initialize the PSD and operate the system in order to verify the repair.
Did you correct the condition?		 - System OK Go to Step 2
