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 certain amount of 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.

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.

(3) While the back door is closing, press a power back door sensor assembly using the handle of a hammer or equivalent and check that the buzzer sounds twice for 0.1 seconds 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.

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.

(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 and check that the buzzer sounds twice for 0.1 seconds and the power back door reverses a certain amount and stops.

(3) While the back door is opening, use your hands to press on the outside surface of the back door panel so that the operating speed decreases and check that the buzzer sounds twice for 0.1 seconds and the power back door stops.

This check is possible when the "PBD Assist Close Operation" customization setting using the GTS is set to "ON" (The default setting is "ON").

(a) Check that the door automatically starts to fully close when the door is manually moved in the closing direction with the back door at rest.

CHECK AUTOMATIC OPENING OPERATION STOPPED POSITION MEMORIZATION FUNCTION (When not using multi-information display in the combination meter assembly)

(2) Operate each switch to stop the open operation when the back door reaches the desired automatic stopped position.

(3) Press and hold the No. 1 power back door control switch for 2 seconds or more with the back door at the stopped position, the buzzer sounds 4 times and the system memorizes the automatic stopped position for the open operation.

(4) Check that the back door stops at the memorized position when an open operation is performed with each switch.

(3) Press and hold the No. 1 power back door control switch for 7 seconds or more with the back door at the stopped position, the buzzer sounds 4 times and sounds 2 times and the system clears the automatic stopped position for the open operation.

(4) Operate each switch to start the open operation and check that the back door stops at the default opening position.

CHECK AUTOMATIC OPENING OPERATION STOPPED POSITION MEMORIZATION FUNCTION (When using multi-information display in the combination meter assembly)

(1) Using the multi-information display, select the "Opening Adjustment" customize setting.

(3) Check that the back door stops at the position set with the customize function when an open operation is performed with each switch.

(4) Operate each switch to start the open operation and check that the back door stops at the default opening position.

NOTICE:

This function operates when the "Kick Sensor Function" item is set to "ON" using the GTS customization function (The default setting is "ON").
This function operates when the "Hands Free" item is set to "On" using the customization function via the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly (The default setting is "On").
This function operates when the "Kick Sensor Operation with ACC ON" item is set to "Available" using the GTS customization function (The default setting is "Not Available").

(1) With the ignition switch off and the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (electrical key) being carried, perform a kick operation within 100 mm (3.94 in.) of the rear bumper surface.

(2) The kick door control sensor assembly detects your foot and the buzzer sounds.

(3) Move your foot out of the detection area and check that the power back door operates.

If your foot is not moved out for a certain period of time, the buzzer sounds 2 times.

HINT:

The hands free power back door detects a change in electrostatic capacitance in the detection area of the kick door control sensor assembly (Operation trigger).
Placing your foot 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 assembly detecting a change in electrostatic capacitance.
