Lock

To get to the front door lock actuator, you should begin by taking off the front door module. After that, take off the electrical connectors from the front door lock actuator. Then remove the outside handle lock rod bracket and take out the screws holding the lock actuator in place. With the actuator removed, put the replacement front door lock actuator onto the front door lock and screw it in place, using only 2 N.m (18 lb in) of torque. After you are done with the actuator, put the outside handle lock rod bracket back, attach the electrical connectors, and then install the front door module.

The first step to replace the sliding door latch requires removal of the PSD 15A fuse from the instrument panel fuse block to prevent both LH and RH power sliding door modules from functioning. Begin with the removal of the sliding door inner trim panel and then proceed to take out the sliding door water deflector. After taking out the latch screws from the sliding door you need to detach the door latch while gently unhooking the rod when the latch becomes loose. After detaching the sliding door latch from its rod you should replace the rod to the latch then put the latch back onto the door. Secure the sliding door latch screws in the proper order while torquing them to 10 N.m (89 lb in) and make sure the rear latch lock rod extends into the latch rod insulator. Put back the sliding door water deflector along with the inner trim panel. The PSD 15A fuse needs to be inserted into the fuse block for power sliding door restoration after both PSD modules learn the full open and closed positions.

Begin replacement of the sliding door latch by removing first the sliding door inner trim panel followed by the sliding door water deflector. Start by removing the sliding door latch screws and then unhook the latch/lock rod from the sliding door latch as it becomes loose before taking out the latch from the door. You should place the new sliding door latch on the door before connecting the latch/lock rod to proceed with installation. Follow the provided fastener notice to install the sliding door latch screws while tightening them to 10 N.m (89 lb in) force in the stated order. The last installation step includes putting back the sliding door water deflector and the sliding door inner trim panel.

The front door latch can be replaced only after disabling the power sliding door system through PSD 15A fuse removal from the instrument panel fuse block. This action cuts off low current logic power from both LH and RH power sliding door modules thereby making them powerless. The maintenance begins with removing the sliding door inner trim panel followed by the removal of the sliding door water deflector. After viewing the sliding door lock simple screws you should pull out these attachment points and free the lock component. The loose latch enables you to disconnect its associated lock rod from the latch mechanism. The process begins with hooking the latch/lock rod to the sliding door latch after which you install the latch onto its designated position. Mount the sliding door latch screws according to the designated sequence before securing them at 10 N.m (89 lb in). Install the sliding door water deflector and the inner sliding door trim panel after making sure the rear latch lock rod stays in place within its insulator. Both power sliding door modules will operate after putting back the PSD 15A fuse into the instrument panel fuse block but they need to relearn their full open and closed positions.

The sliding Door Lock should be removed before you can change the sliding Door Lock Actuator. Remove the electrical connector from the actuator, then use a drill to get rid of the rivets holding it. Take the sliding Door Lock Actuator away from the sliding Door Lock assembly safely. Set the new sliding Door Lock Actuator on the sliding Door Lock so that the holes match up. Hold the actuator with the rivets through the bracket, and next, attach the electrical connector. Then, put the sliding Door Lock back on.

The sliding door water deflector.

Take out the power sliding door latch release actuator rivets and the actuator itself, then unhook the actuator rod from the actuator.

Remove the front door module and disconnect the electrical connectors from the front door lock actuator.

The rear latch lock rod should be secured into the latch rod insulator.

Position the sliding door rear lock onto the sliding door and hook the lock rod to it.

First, remove the front door lock module.

Remove the sliding door inner trim panel.

Secure the actuator with screws, tightening them to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
