Power Sliding Door (PSD) Re-Initialization
The rear side door actuator control modules monitor the power sliding door positions at all times.

Re-initialize the right or left power sliding door systems using the following steps:
- Turn the ON/OFF switch for the power sliding door system to be re-initialized to the OFF position.
- Manually open the power sliding door completely.
- Manually close and latch the power sliding door.
- Turn the power sliding door ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
