CHECK JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION

HINT:
  1. The power back door drive unit detects changes in the operating speed of the back door while the power back door is moving. If a change in the operating speed is out of the normal range, it will be judged that foreign objects are detected in the direction that the power back door is moving and the movement will be reversed.
  2. When the power back door touch sensors built into the both sides of the back door are compressed, it is judged that foreign objects are detected in the direction that the power back door is moving and the power back door will reverse the movement.
  3. The power back door touch sensor operates only while the back door is closing. It does not operate while the back door is opening.



  1. [*1] Check the jam protection function while the power back door is closing.

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


    1. Fully open the back door.

    2. [*2] Press the switch to activate the power back door to close, and perform steps [*3] and [*5], and steps [*4] and [*5] respectively.

      After step [*2], skip step [*3] and perform this step. Then, go to step [*5].



      5. B069439E01

    5. [*5] Check that the jam protection function is immediately activated and the power back door reverses operation to the fully open position.



  2. [*6] Check the jam protection function while the power back door is opening.

    NOTICE:
    Pay thorough attention that your body or your cloth, etc. does not get involved with by accident in this process.
