BACK DOOR CLOSER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Operating any back door opener switch assembly when the back door is fully closed inputs a request signal to the multiplex network door ECU. The multiplex network door ECU outputs a "latch release" command to the back door lock assembly in response to the input.
The latch can be released only when the back door is unlocked.
4 switches are built into the back door lock assembly, and the multiplex network door ECU monitors each switch status. The multiplex network door ECU controls latch "release/close" operations in response to the inputs from each switch.
| Switch | Function |
|---|---|
| Back door courtesy switch | This switch detects that the latch is fully closed and outputs a signal to the multiplex network door ECU. |
| Latch switch | This switch detects the ajar position of the latch and the fully closed position of the latch due to the closer operation and outputs a signal to the multiplex network door ECU. |
| Sector switch | This switch detects the neutral position (initial position) of the back door closer motor and sector gear and outputs it to the multiplex network door ECU. |
| Pawl switch | This switch detects that the latch is opened and then closed and outputs a signal to the multiplex network door ECU. |
FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Multiplex network door ECU | The multiplex network door ECU controls the back door closer system in accordance with the signals received from the back door lock assembly. |
