Power Sliding Door System

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >

DESCRIPTION

Power Sliding Door is an electro-mechanical system designed to provide power opening and closing of a vehicle's
sliding door through the push of a button of the transmitter key or the main control buttons on the overhead console
or the sub control buttons on the center pillar trim or inside/outside door handle switch.
The power sliding door will reverse direction of travel if resistance to movement is detected while the door is being
closed. If resistance to movement is detected while the power sliding door is being opened, the door will stop moving.

1. DRIVE UNIT

Drive unit (A) consists of a DC motor, optical sensor, clutch, cables and pulleys and wire harness. The clutch and
motor portion of the assembly provides the power and torque required to open or close the sliding door. The clutch
assembly is used to connect or disconnect the motor so that the Sliding Door may be moved manually, if desired.

2. POWER SLIDING DOOR CONTROL MODULE (PSDM)

The PSD System uses a power sliding door control module (microprocessor controller) to operate the drive unit.
Signals are received from the vehicle and used to start or stop power open or close operations. The PSDM cannot
be adjusted or repaired and if found to be faulty, must be replaced.

3. SLIDING DOOR CHIME (C)

When the power sliding door detect the resistance or abnormal operation, the chime will sound.

4. ANTI-PINCH STRIP (D)

Secondary Obstacle Detection is provided by means of a contact type strip. Strip is composed of two conductive
zones separated by an air gap. When strip is compressed, conductive zones make contact, activating the switch
signal.
Copper wire is extruded through conductive material to prevent resistive buildup. Terminating resistor is molded into
end of strip to detect failures of strip.

5. OVERHEAD CONSOLE AND REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH (A)

The power sliding doors can be opened and closed automatically with the RKE and the main control button on the
overhead console.

6. DOOR LATCH (B)

The door latch contains a detent switch [C] used to detect the latch state and report the latch state to the power
sliding door module.

7. KEYLESS ENTRY (A)

Power sliding doors can be opened and closed by pressing the button on the RKE more than 0.5 sec. Open
operation shall be reserved when an additional open/close signal is received during power opening.
