Power Sliding Door Module Self-Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
During the PSD self-test, the PSD will attempt to fully open and close the PSD. The PSD self-test does not require the PARK and VSS signal to open the door. Do not carry out the PSD self-test with the vehicle in motion.
The PSD self-test will attempt to power open and close the PSD. As the PSD is opened and closed, the PSD monitors the system for correct inputs. Upon completing the self-test, DTCs will be logged for any incorrect operations. The PSD also checks the following inputs during a self-test:
- overhead console on/off switch circuit
- overhead console open/close switch/RKE circuits
- B-pillar switch circuit
- PARK (enable) circuit from the SJB
- vehicle speed circuit from SJB
- fuel filler door circuit (left PSD only)
The PSD has the ability to reverse the PSD operation if certain conditions exist. This is a normal function of the system, however some electrical concerns may cause the same symptom. If the PSD reverses during operation or during the self-test, always check for an obstruction or misalignment first. If no obstruction or misalignment is found, make sure to complete all DTC and symptom diagnostics.
