Reinstall fuse to Power Step harness. Check that all doors activate the Power Step and the
LED Lights work when doors open and close. Reinstall any remaining trim panels. Due to
Variances in the sheet metal a shim kit is provided if Steps do not retract
properly. See Step 3 for shim placement.
CORRECT OPERATION OF LIGHTS: All four lamps will illuminate upon opening any door of vehicle.
Lamps will stay on until restowing of both Power Steps or until 5 minutes has expired with the doors open.
When the lights timeout after 5 minutes, they can be reillumintated by closing and opening any door of
vehicle.
FINAL SYSTEM CHECK
Check that all doors activate the PowerStep and the LED lights work when doors open and close.
NORMAL OPERATION: When the doors open, PowerStep automatically deploys from under the vehicle.
When the doors are closed, PowerStep will automatically return to the stowed/retracted position. Note that
there is a 2-second delay before the PowerStep returns to the stowed/retracted position.
Reinstall fuse.
