Correction
Visually inspect the pads and plunger for alignment and cleanliness. TAC has had cases where the
wiring harness to the sliding door pad located on the "B" Pillar was chaffed at the base of the "B" pillar,
inducing an intermittent reversal.
Condition
The warning chime sounds when the vehicle is placed into gear.
Correction
Verify that the power sliding door has not lost the learned open/closed position. With the Tech2
updated with software version 25.009 or later, go into the Power Sliding Door menu and verify the
"Open/Closed position learned" status. If either of the doors show "No", the door will have to be
relearned. The power sliding door fuse will have to be removed and then restored. Open and close the
power sliding doors twice with the overhead or "B" pillar switch to relearn the position. If the door
reverses and/or stops prior to completing the two cycles, the procedure will need to be repeated.
Condition
The power sliding door will NOT automatically open when the outside handle is pulled.
Correction
The customer may comment that the door operates as designed when opened with an interior switch or
key fob. Furthermore, the door will take off or open automatically once moved manually and the optical
sensor detects movement. Remove the interior door panel, locate and replace the sliding door unlatch
actuator (upper actuator).
Condition
Unable to tension the power sliding side door cables after replacement.
Cause
The power to the motor clutch assembly may have been connected prior to tensioning the cables.
Correction
Review SI procedures for Rear Side Door Actuator Cable Tension Adjustment.
U.S. dealers should also review the adjustment procedure on the GM Training website -
www.gmtraining.com > TECHAssist > course 50250.20T1 (See Training Information below).
Ensure the cables remain overlapped 1-2 inches when the cables are properly routed and across the
rollers.
Notice:
Failure to properly tension the cables prior to operating the door will result in the motor clutch
