Power Sliding Door Switch: Testing and Inspection

B-Pillar Power Sliding Door Switch Test/Replacement

1. Remove the B-pillar lower trim.

2. Remove the two screws (A) then remove the switch from the center pillar lower trim.






3. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.

NOTE:

- Make sure the correct test lead (+ or -) is placed on the terminal.
- When checking for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting () on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias.
- Note this important operating characteristic; diode bias causes a diode to fully conduct electricity in one direction (forward), while not at all in the opposite direction (reverse).





4. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.

5. Install the switch in the reverse order of removal.
