INCOMPLETE LATCH RELEASE- PAWL SWITCH FAILURE —
TEST
2 Examine the door for proper fit and alignment, loose/ hard or torn seals, worn teeth
on the rack and gear (lower drive unit) or anything that would cause an obstruction
to proper operation.
Manually operate the other sliding door or of a known good vehicle and notice the
effort needed to open and close.
Compare the effort needed on the disabled door.
Especially notice the effort needed to unlatch and close the door.
Does it take more effort to operate the door than it should?
Yes → Refer to Service information for the related symptom(s).
→ Go To 3
No
3 With the DRBIII in Inputs/Outputs, read the PAWL state.
Open the sliding door to full open position.
Using a screwdriver, click the latch to the first detent while observing the DRB111 .
Unlatch the latch by pulling the handle switch and observe the DRB111 for a state
change.
Repeat this step several times while moving the door in different positions and
wiggling the wiring harness to check for an intermittent open.
Did the DRB111 show the switch state changes correctly every time?
Yes → Replace the Power Sliding Door Module.
→ Go To 4
No
4 Disconnect the Sliding Door Control Module C2 connector.
Disconnect the Sliding Door Latch Sensing Switch connector (latch assembly).
Measure the resistance of the Ground wires (both) between the PSD C2 connector
(cavity 20) and the Sliding Door Latch Sensing Switch connector.
Wiggle the harness while observing the ohmmeter.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms on both ground wires?
Yes → Go To 5
→ Repair the Ground wire for an open.
No
5 Disconnect the Sliding Door Control Module C2 connector.
Disconnect the Sliding Door Latch Sensing Switch connector (latch assembly).
Measure the resistance of the Pawl Switch Sense circuit between the PSD C2
connector and the Sliding Door Latch Sensing Switch connector.
Wiggle the harness while observing the ohmmeter.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes → Go To 6
→ Repair the Pawl Switch Sense wire for an open.
