DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles are equipped with a power sliding door system. The components of the power sliding door
system are:
Power sliding door drive assembly
Power Sliding Door Control Module (PSDM)
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
Read Door Control Modules (RDCM)
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)
Next Generation Controller (NGC)
Sliding door wire harness and chain link track (Contains the wiring harness that connects the door
electrical to the body electrical)
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus
B-pillar switches
Overhead console switches
Key fob switches
Power sliding door cinching latches (includes the latch ratchet primary (ajar) switch, sector gear switch,
pawl switch, handle switch and cinch/release motor)
Each power sliding door is equipped with a power sliding door drive assembly with PSDM. The drive assembly
is mounted to the body in the lower sliding door sill area with the use of five retaining nuts. The PSDM is
mounted directly to the inboard side of the drive assembly with two retaining screws. The power sliding door
motor is also located on the inboard side of the drive assembly. Unlike the PSDM which can be serviced
separately, the motor is not available as a service item and must be replaced with the drive assembly should it
become damaged or inoperative. The wire harness and chain link track and the power sliding door drive
assembly are visible with the door open in the lower door sill area.
The cinching latch assembly is located in the rear of the power sliding door, near the body line. The latch has
integral components (latch ratchet primary (ajar) switch, sector gear switch pawl switch, handle switch and
cinch/release motor) that are responsible for the cinching and latching of the sliding door to the body striker. In
addition the latch components also send status messages back to the PSDM via the RDCM and CAN data bus
circuit.
One quick pull on the handle will cause the door to begin a power cycle. The handle switch located on the cinch
latch is used as an additional input to initiate door operation. Pulling the handle again while the door is moving
in mid-travel will terminate the power cycle to put the door in manual mode, and there will be no handle

activation allowed until the door is back in full open or closed position. After the handle is pulled and the door
activated, there is a one second delay before the second pull can be acknowledge by the system to cancel the
power door. That means one cannot pull the handle twice in a row, trying to get the door into manual mode.
Power close (only) in gear feature. The door can be power closed when the vehicle is out of Park or Neutral.
The B-pillar switch is located on the lower B-pillar trim panel and allows the rear occupants to power open or
close the sliding doors. The B-pillar switch is an R-Mux switch that has a resistance of 3.6K ohms and 16K
ohms depending on switch position. When pressed the B-pillar switch will have a nominal resistance of 3.9K.
The overhead power sliding door switches, including lock out switch, are mounted in the front overhead console
of the vehicle. The switches are not serviced individually, they are part of a switch pod. Refer to Electrical -
Message Systems/Overhead Console - Removal . The switch has resistors in parallel of 1.76K ohms, 3.17K
ohms and 15K ohms. When pressed, the switch will have a nominal resistance of 1.76K ohms for the right
sliding door button, 3.76K ohms for the left sliding door button and when not pressed, the switch will have a
nominal resistance of 15K ohms.
Software technology has enabled the PSDM to detect resistance to door travel. This allows the power sliding
door to stop and reverse direction any time an obstruction is felt or any of the command switches are operated.
Battery voltage is supplied to the power sliding door system through a 40 amp fuse, located in the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM) assembly. The power sliding door lockout switch located in the front
overhead console prevents opening or actuation of the power sliding door system when activated. In the
unlikely event that the power sliding door system develops a fault, the power sliding door can still be operated
manually from the interior or exterior door handle similar to a standard manual sliding door.
The PSDM communicates on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit. Therefore, the PSDM can
generate and store its own Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's). The hard wired circuits for the power sliding
door system may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to POWER
SLIDING DOOR MODULE, LEFT (PSDML) - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS and/or POWER
SLIDING DOOR MODULE, RIGHT (PSDMR) - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS . However,
conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the electronic controls and
communication between other modules and devices that provide some features of the power sliding door
system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the switches, modules, data bus or the
electronic controls and communication related to the power sliding door system operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to POWER SLIDING DOOR MODULE, LEFT (PSDML) - ELECTRICAL
DIAGNOSTICS and/or POWER SLIDING DOOR MODULE, RIGHT (PSDMR) - ELECTRICAL
DIAGNOSTICS .
NOTE:
It may be possible to generate Sliding Door Diagnostic Trouble Codes during
normal power sliding door operation. Refer to POWER SLIDING DOOR
MODULE, LEFT (PSDML) - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS and/or POWER SLIDING
DOOR MODULE, RIGHT (PSDMR) - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS for a complete
list of diagnostic routines.
WARNING:
Be certain to read all warnings and cautions in power sliding door
operation before attempting any service of the power sliding door system
or components.

OPERATION
OPERATION
Battery voltage is supplied to the power sliding door system through a 40 amp fuse, located in the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM) assembly. With the push of a power sliding door open/close command switch
(key fob, overhead console or B-pillar mounted) a signal is received by the Power Sliding Door Control Module
(PSDM). The PSDM receives this signal via the Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. The PSDM
then signals the power sliding door cinching latch to release the door to the unlatched and movable position.
The power sliding door drive assembly motor then starts an open cycle.
The overhead power sliding door switch is mounted in the front overhead console of the vehicle. The switches
are not serviced individually, they are part of a switch pod. Refer to Electrical - Message Systems/Overhead
Console - Removal . The switch has resistors in parallel of 1.76K ohms, 3.17K ohms and 15K ohms. When
pressed, the switch will have a nominal resistance of 1.76K ohms for the right sliding door button, 3.76K ohms
for the left sliding door button and when not pressed, the switch will have a nominal resistance of 15K ohms.
The status of the overhead power sliding door switches is continually monitored by the circuitry within the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). The
instrument cluster receives input messages from the overhead power sliding door switches over a hardwired
connection. Whenever the instrument cluster receives an input from the overhead power sliding door switches it
sends a function command signal to the selected PSDM. This message from the cluster to the PSDM is
delivered via the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The B-pillar switch is located on the lower B-pillar trim panel and allows the rear occupants to power open or
close the sliding doors. The B-pillar switch is an R-Mux switch that has a resistance of 3.6K ohms and 16K
ohms depending on switch position. When pressed the B-pillar switch will have a nominal resistance of 3.9K.
The B-pillar switches are hardwired to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The PSDM receives the
message for operation status via the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If all the necessary conditions
are met the PSDM will then perform the requested operation. The B-pillar switch lockout feature must be
disabled and the sliding door must be unlocked in order for the B-pillar switch to function.
The key fobik switch sends a signal to the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN). The PSDM receives the message
from the WIN for operation status via the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If all the necessary
conditions are met the PSDM will then perform the requested operation. The vehicles theft alarm must be
disabled and the sliding door must be unlocked in order for the key fob switch to function.
When one of the PSDMs receives a command signal it checks the following:
PRNDL Status
Vehicle Speed Status
Ignition Status
Vehicle Theft Alarm Armed/Disarmed Status
Sliding Door Latch Status
Sliding Door Full Open Status

One quick pull on the handle will cause the door to begin a power cycle. The handle switch located on the cinch
latch is used as an additional input to initiate door operation. Pulling the handle again while the door is moving
in mid-travel will terminate the power cycle to put the door in manual mode, and there will be no handle
activation allowed until the door is back in full open or closed position. After the handle is pulled and the door
activated, there is a one second delay before the second pull can be acknowledge by the system to cancel the
power door. That means one cannot pull the handle twice in a row, trying to get the door into manual mode.
Power close (only) in gear feature. The door can be power closed when the vehicle is out of Park or Neutral.
If the appropriate conditions exist the PSDM will send a command signal to the selected Rear Door Control
Module (RDCM) so the sliding door can be latched/unlatched as needed. This command signal is sent via the
CAN data bus. Once the PSDM senses the latch function it will power the motor on the power sliding door
drive assembly to open/close the sliding door as requested by the overhead power sliding door switches.
During the door cycle, if the PSDM detects sufficient resistance to door travel, such as an obstruction in the
door's path, it will immediately stop door movement and reverse door travel to the full open or closed position.
The ability for the PSDM to detect resistance to door travel is accomplished by hall effect sensors detecting the
door motor speed.
The PSDM has the ability to learn. Anytime a door is opened or closed using the power sliding door system the
module learns from its cycle. If a replacement power sliding door component is installed or a door adjustment is
made, the module must re-learn the effort required to open or close the door. A learn cycle can be performed
with a complete cycle of the door, using any one of the command switches or with the use of a scan tool. See
Electrical - Power Systems/Power Sliding Door - Standard Procedure for detailed instructions.
The power sliding door system is designed with a number of system inhibitors. These inhibitors are necessary
for safety and/or feasibility of the power sliding door system. The power sliding door system inhibitors are:
The power sliding door must be in the full open or closed position in order for the power sliding door
system to start a normal cycle. If the door is not in this position (based on the input from the switches
integral to the cinching latch assembly) the PSDM will only perform a power open cycle.
The transmission must be in park or neutral in order for the power sliding door system to start a power
open cycle. For power close cycle, the transmission can be out of park or neutral.
The front overhead console lockout switch must be in the "UNLOCKED" position in order for the power
sliding door systems B-pillar switches to function.
If multiple obstacles are detected during the same power open or close cycle the power sliding door may
go into full manual mode.
If severe Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are stored in the PSDM the power sliding door may go into
full manual mode.
Due to the high pressure created in the passenger compartment with the blower motor on high, the power

sliding door may not complete a power close cycle unless a window is cracked, allowing the pressure to
escape. This situation will only be experienced on some vehicles, or vehicles with brand new side door
weather seals installed.
The hard wired circuits for the power sliding door switches may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to POWER SLIDING DOOR MODULE, LEFT (PSDML) - ELECTRICAL
DIAGNOSTICS and/or POWER SLIDING DOOR MODULE, RIGHT (PSDMR) - ELECTRICAL
DIAGNOSTICS . However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the

POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM WARNINGS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM
The power sliding door system was designed to be diagnosed with an appropriate diagnostic scan tool. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the power sliding door system requires the use of a scan tool
and the proper diagnostic procedures information. The scan tool can be used to observe various switch statuses
throughout the power sliding door system to help the technician diagnose a defective switch or component. The
scan tool can also be used to actuate various components throughout the power sliding door system to help the
technician diagnose a defective component.
WARNING:
Always disconnect the negative battery cable before attempting any
power sliding door system service.
WARNING:
Extreme care must be taken to prevent objects from entering the doors
path once the door reaches the cinch motor contact (approximately 1 inch
before fully closed). Never place objects in the power sliding door when
cinching closed. The obstacle detection function is inoperative during the
cinch phase and damage to the vehicle, power sliding door system or
components and/or personal injury may occur.
WARNING:
Never attempt to enter or exit the vehicle while the power sliding door is
in motion. You could damage the power sliding door system or
components and/or cause personal injury.
WARNING:
Never attempt to drive away with the power sliding door in motion. You
could damage the power sliding door system or components and/or
cause personal injury.

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 V
- 16 V.
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 (DTC's) are stored in the PSDM the system may not operate.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
POWER SLIDING DOOR LEARN CYCLE
The power sliding door learn cycle enables the power sliding door control module to learn or relearn critical
information (travel limits, resistance to door travel, door position, etc.) which allows the system to perform
properly and safely. To perform a power sliding door learn cycle do the following:
1. Obtain an appropriate scan tool.
2. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle and check for any power sliding door system stored trouble codes,
correct and erase any stored codes.
3. Close effected sliding door.
4. Using the scan tool, select the Power Sliding Door Control Module (PSDM) Menu, More Options,
System Tests and select the Open Door Test.
5. Using the scan tool check "routine status" for a pass or fail message. If the Open Door Test did not pass,
the scan tool will display the reason to aid in system diagnosis or rerunning the Open Door Test routine.
6. Using the scan tool, select the Power Sliding Door Control Module (PSDM) Menu, More Options,
System Tests and select the Close Door Test.
7. Using the scan tool check "routine status" for a pass or fail message. If the Close Door Test did not pass,
the scan tool will display the reason to aid in system diagnosis or rerunning the Close Door Test routine.
8. Follow the instructions on the scan tool to complete the test.
9. The power sliding door learn cycle is complete.
In order to obtain conclusive testing of the power sliding door system, the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus, and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the power sliding door
system components must be checked. Any diagnosis of the power sliding door system should begin with, the
use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.
POWER SLIDING DOOR ADJUSTMENT
In order for the power sliding door system to function properly the door must move freely and smoothly. The
power sliding door system can accommodate for some minor changes in the effort required to move the door.
However, in extreme conditions the door may need to be mechanically adjusted for proper fit. Refer to
Body/Doors - Sliding/DOOR, Sliding - Adjustments .
If a problem exists with the power sliding door and it is suspected to be extreme effort, check for proper door
alignment and adjustment first, then check the door tracks and drive unit for free manual operation. Refer to
NOTE:
Any time a power sliding door component is removed, replaced, door
adjustment is performed or diagnostic trouble codes are addressed and erased,
a learn cycle must be performed.
NOTE:
If the power sliding door will not complete a full cycle a problem exists in
the power sliding door system.

DRIVE ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Fig. 1: Power Sliding Door Drive Assembly
Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
All vehicles equipped with power sliding doors will have two power sliding door drive assemblies. One drive
assembly for the left sliding door and one for the right. The drive assemblies are mounted in the vehicle body
cavity where the manual lower sliding door track would normally be located. The drive assemblies are attached
to the sliding door lower hinge via a drive bracket (also referred to as the drive tensioner). This bracket is
attached to a cable that moves fore and aft to open and close the power sliding doors.
The power sliding door drive assembly consists of the following parts:
The sliding door track (5)
The power sliding door drive cable, drive tensioner and pulleys (4)
The power sliding door motor (3)
The Power Sliding Door Control Module (PSDM) (2)
The power sliding door drive assembly wire harnesses (1)
The following are the serviceable components of the power sliding door drive assembly:
The PSDM
The PSDM to drive motor wire harness

The lower door track, cable and motor
The power sliding door drive motor is not serviced as a separate component. If the motor is inoperative or
damaged the complete power sliding door drive assembly must be replaced. See Electrical - Power
Systems/Power Sliding Door/DRIVE ASSEMBLY - Removal. Whenever a new power sliding door drive
assembly service part is installed and the PSDM is functioning properly, the original PSDM must be transferred
to the new drive assembly. Refer to Electrical - Electronic Control Modules/Electronic Control
Modules/MODULE, Door - Removal , for the appropriate procedure.

WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable
the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel,
steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or
service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then
wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the
supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions
could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the side impact
sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The
side impact sensor enables the system to deploy the side Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) components. If an impact sensor is accidentally
dropped during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a
new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental,
incomplete, or improper side SRS component deployment.

The power sliding door wire harness (4) supplies power (12 v), ground and various hardwired and data bus
electrical signals to the power sliding door components and the rear door control module for various power door
functions. The harness connects at the B-pillar at one end (1) and the sliding door at the other. It is secured to
the body with push pin style retainers (2 and 3). A plastic chain or wiring track covers the wire harness
assembly and is used to protect the wire harness from abrasion and/or tangling. This wiring track is replaced
with the wire harness assembly. The wire harness assembly also supplies the connection for the second row
seating side impact sensors (5). Should the harness be damaged it should be replaced as a complete assembly.

WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable
the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel,
steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or
service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then
wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the
supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions
could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the side impact
sensor, as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The
side impact sensor enables the system to deploy the side Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) components. If an impact sensor is accidentally
dropped during service, the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a
new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental,
incomplete, or improper side SRS component deployment.

SWITCH, B-PILLAR
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The B-pillar switches are located on the interior of the vehicle, on the B-pillar trim panels. These switches serve
as an open and close command switch for the appropriate power sliding door.
For switch on the overhead console removal. Refer to Electrical - Message Systems/Overhead Console -
Removal . Refer to Electrical - Message Systems/Overhead Console - Installation .
OPERATION
OPERATION
The B-pillar switch is located on the lower B-pillar trim panel and allows the rear occupants to power open or
close the sliding doors. The B-pillar switch is an R-Mux switch that has a resistance of 3.6K ohms and 16K
ohms depending on switch position. When pressed the B-pillar switch will have a nominal resistance of 3.9K.
The B-pillar switches are hardwired to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The Power Sliding Door
Control Module (PSDM) receives the message for operation status via the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. If all the necessary conditions are met the PSDM will then perform the requested operation. The B-pillar
switch lockout feature must be disabled and the sliding door must be unlocked in order for the B-pillar switch to
function.
The hard wired circuits for the B-pillar sliding door switches may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to POWER SLIDING DOOR MODULE, LEFT (PSDML) - ELECTRICAL
DIAGNOSTICS and/or POWER SLIDING DOOR MODULE, RIGHT (PSDMR) - ELECTRICAL
DIAGNOSTICS . However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that provide some features of the
power sliding door system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the B-pillar switches or
the electronic controls and communication related to the power sliding door system operation requires the use of
a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
