BACK DOOR CLOSER SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
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.
3 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.
