Zusammenfassung:A vehicle (10) has a sliding door (14) mounted on rollers (22, 24 and 30) that are supported by and slidable in tracks (16, 18 and 20). A front cable is attached to a front cable drive pulley (144), and extends from the pulley through a front cable roller guide assembly and is attached to a hinge and roller assembly (26) on the sliding door. A rear cable is attached to a rear cable drive pulley (136) and extends from the pulley through a rear cable roller guide assembly and is attached to the hinge and roller assembly (26). A motor rotates the front and rear cable drive pulleys to move the sliding door. A slack cable take-up pulley (174) on the rear cable drive pulley (136) takes up slack cable to set cable tension. The slack take-up pulley (174) is locked in position by teeth (194) and arcuate tooth rack (172) that are moved into engagement by rotation of the front cable drive pulley (144) relative to the rear cable drive pulley (136).
