How to Enter Diagnostic Mode 2

Diagnostic Mode 2 inspects the integrity of the following inputs:
^ The power sliding door on/off switch.
^ The power sliding door open/close switch (overhead console).
^ The power sliding door open/close switch (right B-pillar).
^ The keyless entry system transmitter PSD open/close command.
^ The PARK position of the transaxle range switch.
^ The PSD detent switch.
^ The ignition position for regular wheel base only.

Enter Diagnostic Mode 2 by performing the following procedure:
1. Ensure that the PSD is in Diagnostic Mode 1. Refer to How to Enter Diagnostic Mode 1 within Power Sliding Door Diagnostic Information.
2. Press and hold the power sliding door open/close switch (the overhead console or the right B-pillar) for 4 seconds.
The rear sliding door alarm sounds for 3.2 seconds twice, indicating that Diagnostic Mode 2 is active.
3. Release the power sliding door open/close switch.

IMPORTANT: When checking the detent switch circuit, the PSD alarm will sound for detent switch at ground potential, and will not sound if circuit is not at ground potential. It will not toggle with activation of other inputs.

During the Diagnostic Mode 2, the rear sliding door alarm toggles between on and off upon the activation of the following inputs:
1. Shifting the transaxle in and out of PARK.
2. Pressing the PSD open/close button on the keyless entry transmitter.
3. Cycling the ignition switch.
4. Cycling the power sliding door open/close switch (right B-pillar).
Do not hold the open/close switch for more than 4 seconds because you will enter Diagnostic Mode 3.
5. Inspect the PSD detent switch with the following procedure:
^ Slightly pull the sliding door handle with the sliding door closed, unlocked and the child lock disengaged.
The rear sliding door alarm toggles on and off when pulling the door handle.
^ Open the sliding door manually past the ajar position (secondary latch).
The rear sliding door alarm toggles on and off for as long as the sliding door remains open and the right door lock switch plate plungers and pads are in contact.
^ Move the sliding door manually from the open to the ajar position.
The rear sliding door alarm toggles on and off when the sliding door is in the ajar position.
^ Move the sliding door manually from the ajar position to the closed (primary latch) position.
The rear sliding door alarm toggles on and off when the sliding door moves between the ajar and the closed positions.

If the rear sliding door alarm does not sound upon the activation of one of these inputs, this indicates a faulty switch or a faulty circuit from that device to the rear side door actuator control module.
