Insert the red lead of the multimeter into the orange wire black lead into the white wire of the motor plug. If steps start to deploy and retract when ground is applied and removed, then you may have an OBDII failure. If you are experiencing no deployment and lights for steps are not illuminating you may have a controller failure. When chassis ground is applied to wires it will deploy the step and when ground is removed it will retract the step.

These are our trigger wires, one driver and one passenger. This can be performed with both wires at the same time or each wire individually. Ground both purple wires to chassis ground location. If one cannot be found, then a jumper wire from the “- “or black terminal of the battery can also be used) (Note: Chassis ground locations can be found on any non-painted bare metal location in the vehicle. Locate a solid chassis ground location in the vehicle. Put OBDII plug to the side it will not be used. (Note: One is purple, and one is purple/black stripe)ĭisconnect purple and purple/black stripe wires from splice point under dash. If you are receiving voltage when you open the door and it goes away when you close the door you may be experiencing an issue in the harness or with your LED lights.įollow black pigtail off side of plug till it splits in to 2 purple wires. If you are seeing that voltage is staying constant no matter if you open or close any door you may be experiencing an issue with the controller. Using your multimeter, meter out the pins directly in the controller and run the same test as previous. Unplug small 8 pin plug from the controller. If you are not seeing the voltage effected by the operation of the door proceed to the next step. When you open any door your meter should display 12v + or battery voltage and when the door is closed the voltage should go away. Insert your black lead into the back of the controller at the black wire. Using a DMM (digital multimeter) insert the red lead of your meter into the back of the controller at the red wire. (pic attached labeled override pinning can be used) Locate the small 8 pin plug located at your controller. Start by closing all doors on the vehicle If you have further questions, please reach out to our technical support team at 1-88 This cleaning should be done periodically, or when debris such as mud, dirt or salt becomes trapped in the running board mechanism. Do not lubricate with any greases, oils, WD-40, or penetrants. Then cycle the door to work the lubrication in to the hinge points.ĭo not apply silicone, wax, or protectants like Armor All® to the running board. Īfter washing, apply silicone spray (dry Film lubricant) only, to all 4 linkage arms and all pivot pins, some of these pins will be located up high on the linkage arm as well. Using a pressure washer to clean the front and rear linkages which are all 4 hinge points for your PowerSteps. This will leave your steps in the deployed position. Leave firm pressure with your foot on the step while you close the door. The running boards can me manually set in the deployed position by opening the door, and then place your foot on the step. Manually set the running boards to deploy: In adverse conditions, debris such as mud, dirt, and salt may become trapped in the running board mechanism, possibly leading to unwanted noise, or binding.
