Pinpoint Test R: Interior Door Release Handle Sticks

Normal Operation

The interior door handle is connected to the door latch by an actuating cable. When the interior door handle is pulled it causes the cable to pull on the latch lever. When the latch lever is moved, the door latch releases allowing the door to open. The handle has a return spring to make sure the handle returns to a closed position.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Binding cable
- Broken handle return spring
- Door latch
