Power Window Control System

  1. Check the basic function of the manual operation function:
    • Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the door glass moves up when each window switch of the driver side regulator master switch assembly is turned to UP and moves down when each window is turned to DOWN.
    • Check that the door glass moves up when each window switch of the passenger side regulator switch assembly is turned to UP and moves down when each window is turned to DOWN.
    • Check that the other doors glass, besides the driver's, will not operate when locking the window locking switch.
  2. Check the automatic operation function:
    • Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the AUTO UP operates and the door glass is fully closed when each window switch of the driver side regulator master switch assembly is turned UP by double-shift.
    • Check that the AUTO DOWN operates and the door glass is fully opened when each window switch of the driver side regulator master switch assembly is turned DOWN by double-shift.
    • Check that the AUTO UP operates and the door glass is fully closed when the window switch of each passenger side regulator switch assembly is turned UP by double-shift.
    • Check that the AUTO DOWN operates and the door glass is fully opened when the window switch of each passenger regulator switch assembly is turned DOWN by double-shift.
    • Check that the door glass stops when the applicable switch is turned UP during the AUTO DOWN operation. However, if the switch is kept in the UP position, it will transfer to the manual operation.
    • Check that the door glass stops when the applicable switch is turned DOWN during the AUTO UP operation. However, if the switch is kept in the DOWN position, it will transfer to the manual operation.
  3. Check the wireless operation. With all of the doors closed, have no key inserted in the ignition key cylinder. Check that each door glass moves down when the UNLOCK switch of the transmitter is kept pressing for 2.5 seconds or more. Also, check that the door glass stops when the UNLOCK switch is turned off.
  4. Check the operation function by operating the driver's door key operation (operation interlocked with key). Check that each door glass moves down when the door lock cylinder is held in the UNLOCK position for 2.5 seconds or more by the key operation. Also, check that the door glass stops when the door lock cylinder is turned back to the neutral position.
  5. CAUTION: Never check it with any part of your body such as a hand is caught between the glass and the vehicle's body. Also, pay thorough attention not to get caught in there during operation.
    NOTE: In case of resetting the power window regulator motor assembly, check should be carried out after repeating to raise and lower the door glass several times by the AUTO UP operation.
  6. Check the jam protection function. Jam protection function only works during the AUTO UP operation. Open the door glass fully. Hold the handle of the hammer near the fully-closed position. When fully closing the door glass with the AUTO UP, check that it moves down without the hammer handle getting caught and will go down by about 7.87 in. (200 mm) and stop there. The window goes down by about 1.97 in. (50 mm) or for about 1 second. In case of that the opening value is below 7.87 in. (200 mm), the window goes down by 7.87 in. (200 mm) or keeps going down for 5 seconds and stops then. During the lowering operation, check that it will not move up when the driver side window regulator master switch is operated to the UP side.
