Problem overview

Some Nissan Quest owners report experiencing issues with the passenger sliding door not closing properly, often attributed to alignment problems that affect the closing mechanism. Additionally, some users have found that turning off the auto door closing function and operating the door manually for a time can help alleviate the issue. Concerns about electrical harness problems are also common, which may require inspection and repair. Symptoms such as the sliding door not latching properly or intermittently failing to latch are often indicative of underlying electrical issues. The presence of the B2246 diagnostic trouble code suggests a short to ground in the passenger sliding door ajar circuit, pointing to potential electrical problems. It is recommended that owners check the door alignment, consider manual operation if auto closing is problematic, and have the electrical harness inspected for corrosion or damage, consulting a mechanic or dealership for a thorough diagnosis and repair if necessary.
