Door Lock Striker Adjustment

(Front Door Shown, Rear Door Similar)

The door lock striker consists of a striker with two screws that are threaded into a tapped, floating cage plate located in the appropriate body pillar. This floating cage plate allows the striker to be easily adjusted in and out or up and down.

The door is secured in the closed position when the door lock fork snaps over and engages the striker.

Notice : The door lock striker is an important attaching part that can affect the performance of vital components and systems. It can cause major repair expenses. If replacement becomes necessary, the door lock striker must be replaced by one with the same part number or with an equivalent. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or of a substitute design. The specified torque values must be used during reassembly to ensure the proper retention of the part.

Up/Down or In/Out Adjustment

An adjustment of the striker in the up and down or in and out directions may be necessary for a number of reasons:

Vehicle frame damage as the result of a collision.
Installation of new door weatherstripping.
Customer complaints of excessive windnoise.
Difficulty in opening or closing the door.

To adjust the door striker in an up and down or in and out direction, perform the following procedure:

The door must be properly aligned.
Loosen the striker screws.
The floating cage plate can be moved slightly using the ends of the striker screws. Move the floating cage plate to the desired position.
If proper adjustment requires that the floating cage plate be moved more than is possible, use an electric hand drill and a 3/8-inch rotary file bit with a flat head to enlarge the body opening in the direction required.

Notice : It is important to use a flat-tipped drill bit to prevent damage to the tapped floating cage plate. The striker screws and the tapped floating cage plate are important attaching parts that could affect the performance of vital components and systems.

Tighten the door lock striker screws to the correct position.
Tighten the door lock striker screws to the correct position.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SYSTEM OPERATION

Door Lock Striker

The front and the rear door lock strikers each consist of a striker with two screws threaded into a floating cage plate in the B-pillars and the C-pillars. The door is secured in the closed position when the door lock fork snaps over and engages the striker.

Childproof Rear Door Lock

The childproof rear door locks help prevent passengers, especially children, from opening the rear doors of the vehicle from the inside.

To activate the locks, move the levers of both rear doors to the lock position. Then, close both doors. The rear passengers will be unable to open the doors from inside of the vehicle.

To deactivate the locks, unlock the door from the inside of the vehicle and open the door from the outside. Move the lever to the unlock position. The rear door will now work normally.

Power Door Locks

The power door locks use a solenoid that is contained in each door lock assembly. The door locks are activated by the actuator on the inside door handle or by the lock cylinder on the driver's side door only. When the driver's side door is locked or unlocked by the actuator or the lock cylinder, all doors are locked or unlocked accordingly.

Power Windows

The power windows are controlled by electrical switches on the door panels and are operated by a motor at each window regulator. Each door has a switch to control its window, and the driver's side door has four switches to control all door windows on the vehicle. The windows are lowered by pressing the switch and raised by pulling up on the switch. The window will stop movement when the switch is released or when the window is completely open or closed.

The driver's side window opens automatically. By pressing and releasing the switch, the driver's side window will lower and will stop only when the switch is activated again, or when the window is completely open.

The driver's side door control also contains a window lock button that will prevent the operation of the front passenger door or the rear door windows when pressed.
