Anti-pinch Power Window Operation: Notes

The system is composed of the driver's MPCS unit, the front passenger's MPCS unit, the power window master switch, the passenger's power window switch, and the power window motors.

The rear power window switches have built-in control units.

The power window motor incorporates a pulser which generates pulses during the motor's operation and sends pulses to the power window control unit. As soon as the power window control unit detects no pulses from the pulser, the power window control unit makes the power window motor stop and reverse. This prevents pinching your hand or fingers during auto-up operation. The anti-pinch function does not work when the driver's window switch is held in the closed position.
