Power Sliding Door System Inhibitors
The power sliding door system is designed with a number of system inhibitors. These inhibitors are necessary for safety and feasibility of the power sliding door system. Refer to power sliding door system inhibitors noted below:
- The Power Sliding Door Control Module (PSDM) will inhibit operation of the power sliding door in extreme temperatures. These temperatures will be approximately -22° F (-33° C) and 149° F (65° C). The thermistor assembly internal to the PSDM monitors the temperature.
- The vehicle's transmission must be in park or neutral for the power sliding door to operate.
- The vehicle's speed must be zero for the power sliding door to operate.
- The vehicle's electrical system voltage must be within specification for the power sliding door system to operate. A low-voltage cut-off is built into the power sliding door system to prevent the vehicle's battery from discharging to the point were the vehicle cannot be operated. The PSDM operating voltage is 10.5 volts - 16 volts.
- If the vehicle's ignition switch is in the "START" position, the power sliding door will pause.
- If multiple obstacles are detected during the same power open or close cycle, the PSDM will abort that power cycle and go into full manual operation.
- If severe Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored in the PSDM the system may not operate.
