Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Opening Power Sliding Door
Ignition switch may be in any position, but sliding door main switch must be in ON position and doors must be unlocked. Gear selector must be in Park position. Doors may also be operated manually, if necessary.
With the shift lever in Park, turn on the main switch on the power sliding door switch, then perform one of these operations:
- Press the OPEN button on the power sliding door switch once.
- Pull either the inner or outer door handles once. Child safety lock must be off for inner handle to open the door.
- Press the sliding door button on the keyless transmitter once.
First, the release motor unlatches the power sliding door, then the slide motor turns toward the OPEN side, and the door moves from the fully-closed position to the fully-open position. The slide motor revolution sensor determines the fully-open position by counting the pulse of the slide motor. Once the door is fully open, the system shuts down.
