CHECK JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION

HINT:

  • The multiplex network door ECU detects changes in the operating speed of the back door while the power back door is operating. If a change in the operating speed is out of the normal range, it will be judged that foreign objects are in the path of the power back door and the operation will stop if the door is operating in the opening direction or move a certain amount in the reverse direction if the door is operating in the closing direction.
  • When the power back door sensor assemblies built into both sides of the back door are compressed, it is judged that foreign objects are in the path of the power back door and the operation will reverse a little in the opposite direction and then stop.
  • The power back door sensor assemblies operate only while the back door is closing. They do not operate while the back door is opening.

(a) Check the jam protection function (the power back door sensor assembly) while the power back door is closing.

NOTICE:

Do not check this function using a part of your body such as your hand. Also, pay thorough attention that nothing gets caught by accident in this process.

(1) Fully open the back door.

(2) Press a switch to close the power back door.

(3) While the back door is closing, press a power back door sensor assembly using the handle of a hammer or equivalent.

(4) Check that the buzzer sounds twice for 0.1 seconds, the jam protection function is immediately activated and the power back door reverses a certain amount and stops.

(b) Check the jam protection function (the pulse sensor in the multiplex network door ECU) while the power back door is closing.

NOTICE:

Do not check this function using a part of your body such as your hand. Also, pay thorough attention that nothing gets caught by accident in this process.

(1) Fully open the back door.

(2) Press a switch to close the power back door.

(3) While the back door is closing, insert a tire or equivalent between the door panel and vehicle body, in order to interrupt the closing operation.

(4) Check that the buzzer sounds twice for 0.1 seconds, the jam protection function is immediately activated and the power back door reverses a certain amount and stops.

(c) Check the jam protection function while the power back door is opening.

NOTICE:

Pay thorough attention that your body or your clothes, etc. do not get caught in the door by accident in this process.

Center of the rear bumper

HINT:

  • The hands free power back door detects a change in electrostatic capacitance in the detection area of the kick door control sensor (Operation trigger).
  • Placing your leg or a metallic object within 100 mm (3.94 in.) of the rear bumper surface and then moving it out of the detection area results in the hands free power back door operating due to the kick door control sensor detecting a change in electrostatic capacitance.
  • The kick door control sensor receives vehicle speed, IG and ACC signals from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via LIN communication and uses the information to stop sensor oscillation.
