ISSUE
Content
The door soft close feature is found to be inoperative on the driver's door only during Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI).
CAUSE
At 15MY onwards a new feature is introduced that disables the driver's door soft close cinch motor (where fitted) for transportation purposes. As part of the PDI it will be necessary to reconnect C33-T1/2 (located at the rear of the spare wheel well) to enable the soft close feature.
ACTION
Whilst carrying out the transit relay removal step of the PDI and with the battery negative terminal disconnected:
- Release the transit tape at connector C33-T1/2 (please see attachment for connector location)
- Re-connect C33-T1/2
- Check soft close operation for all closures.
NOTE:
The PDI manual and check sheet will be updated in due course.
