Power Sliding Door Initialization Procedure

NOTE: When overhead console on/off switch in ON position, remote keyless entry transmitter or "B" pillar open/close switches may be used in place of overhead console open/close switch to initialize power assist operation for power sliding doors. When overhead console on/off switch is in OFF position, power sliding doors will not operate from "B" pillar switch and power assist operation will be disabled.

Disconnecting battery, removing central junction box fuse No. 6 (15-amp), disconnecting modules or removing power supply from some modules could cause power sliding door module to lose memory. Power sliding door initialization procedure must be performed before power sliding door will operate under all conditions. Power sliding door initialization procedure is a learning process for modules to identify power sliding door full open and full close positions. After power is restored to vehicle, initialize power sliding door(s) with following procedure:

  1. Ensure both power sliding doors are fully closed, latched and unlocked. Ensure vehicle is in Park and fuel filler door is closed. Switch overhead console on/off switch is in ON position.
  2. Press driver's and passenger's overhead console open/close switch to open driver-side and passenger-side power sliding door. After power sliding door is fully open and stopped, press driver-side and passenger-side overhead console open/close switches to close both power sliding doors.
