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.
Emergency Stop Operation
The Emergency Stop feature allows the operator to stop the door for any reason when it is opening or closing. It can be activated at any time using any of the following:
- The power sliding door switch (OPEN or CLOSE) on the dashboard
- The remote transmitter (button for the door that is to be stopped)
- The inner door handle
- The outer door handle
Turning the Main switch OFF also stops door movement (see UNINTENTIONAL SLIDE PREVENTION (USP) MANUAL MODE).
If, while the door is moving, the power sliding door control unit receives an open or close signal from any of the switches above, it immediately stops the slide motor. The sliding door beeper sounds three times (if the Main switch was not used to stop door movement). Depending on which operation is used to resume door operation, the door will operate differently.
- If the remote transmitter is used to move the door after it has stopped, the door will move in the opposite direction.
- If the Power Sliding Door Switch or the inner handle is used, the door will move in the direction selected.
- If the outer handle is used, the door will move toward the open position.
Unintentional Slide Prevention (USP), Power Mode-If the emergency stop operation is activated while the door is neither fully open nor fully closed, the power slide door control unit will keep the electromagnetic clutch activated for up to 30 minutes (depending on whether or not the engine is running in order to preserve the battery). Once the electromagnetic clutch is turned off, the control unit monitors the power slide door motor pulser for two seconds for rapid movement of the door. If rapid movement is detected, the power slide door control unit reengages the electromagnetic clutch and then slide motor to move the door back to its original position and the power slide door beeper sounds a continuous tone. The power slide door control unit then releases the electromagnetic clutch and monitors the power slide door motor pulser again. If the door begins to move, it repeats this operation one more time. If, after disengaging the electromagnetic clutch a third time, the slide door still moves, the power slide door control unit will reengage the electromagnetic clutch and the slide motor and move the door to the fully open or closed position, depending on which direction the door was moving when the clutch was disengaged, then the power slide door beeper is turned OFF.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
