Rear Latch Assembly
This assembly mechanically latches the rear of the door in the closed position. It contains the closer motor, the half-latch/full-latch switch, the base position switch, ratchet switch, and the failsafe lever.
- Closer Motor (A)-This motor moves the latch from the half-latched to the fully latched position to complete closing the door.
- Half-Latch Switch/Full-Latch Switch (B)-These switches signal the power sliding door control unit that the door has reached the half-latched position and the fully latched position-the door is fully closed.
- Base Position Switch (C)-This switch signals the power sliding door control unit that the closer motor is in its normal, off position.
- Ratchet Switch (D)-This switch provides a confirmation signal to the control unit that the operation of the half-latch and full-latch switches is accurate.
- Failsafe Lever (E)-This lever mechanically disconnects the closer motor from the door latch. See EMERGENCY STOP OPERATION .
