Soft close door

Hi...I'm getting an occasional squeak coming from my back door mainly when I brake, sometimes when I accelerate.
I think it's the soft close latch (which is working) but I don't know how to troubleshoot it.
Has anyone had this problem?

I doubt it's the softclose motor. All it does is move the latch but once it's closed, it's closed. If you still suspect, you can pop the door panel and vapor barrier and reach in and unplug the softclose motor. This will make the latch operate as a normal door latch. If you still have the noise, the softclose isn't the problem. You could also try lubricating the latch.
