        1. *: w/ Hands Free Power Back Door
  5. CHECK JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION 

    HINT: 

    • The multiplex network door ECU detects changes in the operating speed of the back door while the power back door is operating.
    • When the power back door sensor assemblies built into both sides of the back door are compressed, it is judged that foreign objects are in the path of the power back door and the operation will reverse a certain amount of the opposite direction and then stop.
    • The power back door sensor assemblies operate only while the back door is closing. They do not operate while the back door is opening.
    1. Check the jam protection function (the power back door sensor assembly) while the power back door is closing.
      NOTE:

      Do not check this function using a part of your body such as your hand. Also, pay thorough attention that nothing gets caught by accident in this process.

      1. Fully open the back door.
      2. Press a switch to close the power back door.
      3. While the back door is closing, press a power back door sensor assembly using the handle of a hammer or equivalent and check that the buzzer sounds twice for 0.1 seconds and the power back door reverses a certain amount and stops.
    2. Check the jam protection function (the pulse sensor in the multiplex network door ECU) while the power back door is closing.
      NOTE:

      Do not check this function using a part of your body such as your hand. Also, pay thorough attention that nothing gets caught by accident in this process.

      1. Fully open the back door.
      2. Press a switch to close the power back door.
      3. While the back door is closing, insert a tire or equivalent between the door panel and vehicle body, in order to interrupt the closing operation and check that the buzzer sounds twice for 0.1 seconds and the power back door reverses a certain amount and stops.
    3. Check the jam protection function while the power back door is opening.
      1. Fully close the back door.
      2. Press a switch to open the power back door.
      3. While the back door is opening, use your hands to press on the outside surface of the back door panel so that the operating speed decreases and check that the buzzer sounds twice for 0.1 seconds and the power back door stops.
  6. CHECK ASSIST OPERATION 
    NOTE:

    This check is possible when the "PBD Assist Close Function" customization setting using the GTS is set to "ON".

    Refer to CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS [11/2023 - ] 

    1. Check that the door automatically starts to fully close when the door is manually moved in the closing direction with the back door at rest.
  7. CHECK AUTOMATIC OPENING OPERATION STOPPED POSITION MEMORIZATION FUNCTION (When not using multi-information display) 
    1. Register open operation automatic stopped position in memory
      1. Open the back door by operating each switch.
      2. Operate each switch to stop the open operation when the back door reaches the desired automatic stopped position.
      3. Press and hold the No. 1 power back door control switch for 2 seconds or more with the back door at the stopped position, the buzzer sounds 4 times and the system memorizes the automatic stopped position for the open operation.
      4. Check that the back door stops at the memorized position when an open operation is performed with each switch.
    2. Clear open operation automatic stopped position memory
      1. Open the back door by operating each switch.
      2. Stop the back door by operating each switch.
      3. Press and hold the No. 1 power back door control switch for 7 seconds or more with the back door at the stopped position, the buzzer sounds 4 times and sounds 2 times and the system clears the automatic stopped position for the open operation.
      4. Operate each switch to start the open operation and check that the back door stops at the default opening position.
  8. CHECK AUTOMATIC OPENING OPERATION STOPPED POSITION MEMORIZATION FUNCTION (When using multi-information display) 
    1. Register open operation automatic stopped position in memory
      1. Using the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, select the "Opening Adjustment" customize setting.

        Refer to CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS [11/2023 - ] 

      2. Check that the back door stops at the position set with the customize function when an open operation is performed with each switch.
    2. Clear open operation automatic stopped position memory
      1. Open the back door by operating each switch.
      2. Stop the back door by operating each switch.
      3. Press and hold the No. 1 power back door control switch for 7 seconds or more with the back door at the stopped position, the buzzer sounds 4 times and sounds 2 times and the system clears the automatic stopped position for the open operation.
      4. Operate each switch to start the open operation and check that the back door stops at the default opening position.
  9. CHECK HANDS FREE POWER BACK DOOR OPERATION (w/ Hands Free Power Back Door) 
    1. Check kick sensor function
      NOTE:
      • This check is possible when the "PBD Kick-in Beep Sound" customization setting using the GTS is set to "ON".
      • This check is possible when the "Hands Free" customization setting using the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly is set to "ON".

        Refer to CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS [11/2023 - ] 

      1. With the ignition switch off and the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (electrical key) being carried, perform a kick operation within 100 mm (3.94 in.) of the rear bumper surface.
      2. The kick door control sensor detects your foot and the buzzer sounds.
      3. Move your foot out of the detection area and check that the power back door operates.

        HINT: 

        If your foot does not moved out for a certain period of time, the buzzer sounds 2 times.

    2. Kick sensor operation range

      *1 Kick Door Control Sensor - -
      *a 100 mm (3.94 in.) - -

      The illustration shown is an example only.

      HINT: 

      • The hands free power back door detects a change in electrostatic capacitance in the detection area of the kick door control sensor (Operation trigger).
      • Placing your foot or a metallic object within 100 mm (3.94 in.) of the rear bumper surface and then moving it out of the detection area results in the hands free power back door operating due to the kick door control sensor detecting a change in electrostatic capacitance.
