CONSTRUCTION
The rear slide door lock assembly consists mainly of a closer motor, latch, pawl, open cable, various levers and various switches.
The rear slide door lock assembly fully closes the slide door automatically when the slide door is ajar.
When the slide door is fully closed, pull the open cable to disengage the latch in the rear slide door lock assembly.
The rear slide door lock assembly contains 4 switches to detect the locked state. The detection functions of the switches are the following:
| Detection Switch | Function |
|---|---|
| Half-latch Switch | Turns on from the time the latch is released, until just before it is at the half latch position, in order to detect the position of the latch. |
| Full-latch Switch | Turns off when the latch is in the full latch state, in order to detect the fully closed position of the latch. |
| Pawl Switch | Detects the position of the pawl, turns on when the latch is fully closed, and turns off when the latch is rotating. |
| Neutral Position Switch | Detects the slide door handle (inside/outside) operating condition and the active lever operating range. |

OPERATION
When the closer motor rotates, the drive force of the motor is transmitted from the worm gear to the wheel gear to the pinion gear and rotates the active lever in conjunction with the pinion gear. This allows the latch to rotate with the passive lever and change the slide door from half latch to full latch.
