BACK DOOR CLOSER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Operating the back door opener switch assembly when the back door is fully closed sends 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 signal.
The latch can be released only when the back door is unlocked.
3 switches are built into the back door lock assembly. The multiplex network door ECU monitors each switch status. The multiplex network door ECU controls latch "release/close" operations in response to the signal from each switch.
| Switch | Function |
|---|---|
| Back door courtesy switch | Detects whether the back door is open or closed. This switch turns on when the back door is open or ajar and turns off when it is fully closed. |
| Latch switch | Detects the fully closed position of latch. This switch turns on when the latch is in the open-latch position. |
| Sector switch | Detects if the back door is ajar. This switch turns on when latch is in half-latch position. |
