WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2002 Dodge Caravan, 2002 Chrysler Voyager, and 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
If the power side door will not complete a full cycle, a problem exists with the power side door system. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
.
Any time a power sliding door component is removed, replaced, door adjustment is performed or diagnostic trouble codes are addressed and erased, a learn cycle MUST be performed. This learn cycle enables the power side door control module to learn or relearn its critical information (travel limits, resistance to door travel, etc.) which allows it to perform properly and safely. It also tells the technician that the system is performing properly and is able to be returned to service. To perform a power door learn cycle do the following:
- Obtain a DRB-III(R) scan tool. Connect the DRB-III(R) to the vehicle and check for any power side door system stored diagnostic trouble codes, erase any stored codes. Operate the system and check to see if any trouble codes return. If any diagnostic trouble codes return, diagnose, correct and erase the codes before performing the learn cycle. If a DRB-III(R) scan tool is not available, the learn cycle can be performed by opening and closing the power side door using any of the normal open/close command switches. Be certain to cycle the side door through a complete open AND close cycle or the procedure will not be complete.
- Using the DRB-III(R), go into Test Routing Menu and select a power open command. Select a power close command.
- The power side door learn cycle is complete.
