Disassembly procedure
1. If it is determined that the power sliding door remote control-ler motor is defective, follow the instructions provided in Kia’s Global Information System (KGIS) to remove the door trim and controller assembly before bench repairing the controller unit. Removed PSD remote controller is shown here along with the location of release motor drive assembly.
2. Remove the seven screws holding the cover and drive assembly in place.
Notice: There are four short screws and three long screws. The longer screws attach the motor assembly to the controller.
3. Carefully separate the cover from the drive assembly as shown. Be especially careful not to damage or misplace the seal.
Notice: It is not necessary to remove the complete drive assembly from the remote controller.
4. While holding the motor in place, use small needle-nose pliers to carefully disconnect the wiring from the motor. The blade style connectors easily pull straight up and out.
Notice: Note the wire’s color and position for reinstallation. If the wires are switched, the remote controller will not operate correctly.
5. Remove the motor from the drive assembly.
Notice: Be careful not to misplace the motor's white nylon end support bearing.
