inoperative automatic (power) back door (e.g., the door will not open, close, latch, etc.):

Confirm the Power Back Door is set to ON in the Vehicle Settings menu in the
Vehicle Information Display (Figure 1).
o To access/change the Power Back Door setting, use the scroll dial and
buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the Vehicle Settings menu.

Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.


Refer to ASIST and the ESM for further diagnostic information if the Power Back
Door setting is confirmed to be ON and the door is still inoperative.

If further troubleshooting per the ESM is needed, note that the Automatic Back Door
Control Unit only needs to be recalibrated per the Work Procedure in C-III plus if the
following work is performed:
o Removing and installing, or replacing the Automatic Back Door Control Unit
o Removing and installing, or replacing the Automatic Back Door Spindle Unit
o Removing and installing, or replacing the Back Door Assembly
NOTE: Attempting to recalibrate the Automatic Back Door Control Unit while
troubleshooting other components in the Power Back Door (PBD) system such as
the hatch latch, electrical wiring harnesses, control buttons or touch sensors, can
cause the recalibration to fail, which erroneously generates DTC B2428-54 PBD
CONTROLLER CALIBRATION LOST and leads to unnecessary replacement of the
Automatic Back Door Control Unit.
