WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This assembly mechanically latches the rear of the door in the closed position. It contains the closer motor, the half-latch/full-latch switch, the base position switch, ratchet switch, and the failsafe lever.
- Closer Motor (A)-This motor moves the latch from the half-latched to the fully latched position to complete closing the door.
- Half-Latch Switch/Full-Latch Switch (B)-These switches signal the power sliding door control unit that the door has reached the half-latched position and the fully latched position-the door is fully closed.
- Base Position Switch (C)-This switch signals the power sliding door control unit that the closer motor is in its normal, off position.
- Ratchet Switch (D)-This switch provides a confirmation signal to the control unit that the operation of the half-latch and full-latch switches is accurate.
- Failsafe Lever (E)-This lever mechanically disconnects the closer motor from the door latch. See EMERGENCY STOP OPERATION .
