Section 108 (Power Back Door System): Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota Sienna. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT POWER BACK DOOR MAIN SWITCH 
    1. Inspect the resistance of the main switch.

      Standard: 

      POWER BACK DOOR MAIN SWITCH SPECIFICATIONS

      Terminal No. Condition Specified Condition
      4 - 5 Free (ON) Below 1 Ω
      4 - 5 Pushed (OFF) 10 kΩ or higher

      If the result is not as specified, replace the switch.

    2. Apply battery voltage and check the illuminates.

      Standard: 

      BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS

      Measurement Condition Specified Condition
      Battery positive (+) --> Terminal 1 Battery negative (-) --> Terminal 2 Illuminates
    NOTE: Whether the switch illuminates or not will not affect the function of the LH side.

    If the result is not as specified, replace the bulb.

      Terminal No. Condition Specified Condition
      3 - 5 Free (OFF) 10 kΩ or higher
      3 - 5 Pushed (ON) Below 1 Ω

      If the result is not as specified, replace the switch.

    2. Apply battery voltage and check whether the switch illuminates.

      Standard: 

      BATTERY VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS

      Measurement Condition Specified Condition
      Battery positive (+) --> Terminal 8 Battery negative (-) --> Terminal 7 Illuminates
    NOTE: Whether the switch illuminates or not will not affect the function of the RH side.

    If the result is not as specified, replace the bulb.

  6. INSPECT POWER BACK DOOR DRIVE UNIT 
    1. Remove the unit.
    2. Apply battery voltage to the terminals and check the motor operation.

      Standard: 

      POWER BACK DOOR DRIVE UNIT SPECIFICATIONS

      Measurement Condition Specified Condition
      Battery positive (+) --> Terminal 8 Battery negative (-) --> Terminal 7 Open
      Battery positive (+) --> Terminal 7 Battery negative (-) --> Terminal 8 Close

      If the result is not as specified, replace the drive unit.

    3. Check the resistance of the clutch terminals.

      Standard: 

      TERMINALS SPECIFICATIONS

      Terminal No. Specified Condition
      3 - 9 4.0 Ω

      If the result is not as specified, replace the drive unit.

    4. Reinstall the unit with the connector connected.

    5. Check the pulse of the pulse sensor.
      1. Using an oscilloscope, check the pulse generated when the door is manually opened and closed.

      Standard (Reference): 

      PULSE SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS

      Terminal 1 - 2, 2 - 5
      Tool setting 10 V/DIV., 10 ms/DIV.
      Vehicle condition Door moving

      If the result is not as specified, replace the drive unit.

      NOTE: A cycle of the pulse changes between approx. 10 to 20 msec. according to the speeds that the slide door is moving.
