When the kick door control sensor detects a kick operation, it sends an operation signal to the multiplex network door ECU.
Before troubleshooting, make sure that the "Kick Sensor" customize setting is set to "ON" (The default is "ON").
The power back door system uses the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the power back door system after confirming that the CAN communication system is functioning properly.

Before troubleshooting, be sure to read Precautions for Hands Free Power Back Door.
If the multiplex network door ECU has been removed and installed or replaced, or if any of the connectors have been disconnected, initialize the power back door system.
After performing work, using the GTS, read the Data List item "Kick Sensor Connection" and check that the kick door control sensor is connected.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Check that the power back door function on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly is set to ON.
