Power Window Control System - Diagnostics: Pre-Check

  1. POWER WINDOW OPERATION MODE 

    HINT:

    Initial condition that the customizing function by the hand-held tester is not chosen is shown.

    Standard:

  2. POWER WINDOW FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION 
    1. When an abnormality is detected in the limit switch and pulse sensor for operating the jam protection function (DTC: B1231, B1232, B1233, B1234), the following power window operations will be prohibited for fail-safe.

    Standard: 

    POWER WINDOW OPERATION

    Power window operation Ignition switch ON Ignition switch OFF Operative after key-OFF Ignition switch OFF Inoperative after key-OFF
    Manual UP Operative (AUTO UP held) Operation prohibited -
    Manual DOWN Operative Operation prohibited -
    AUTO UP Operation prohibited Operation prohibited -
    AUTO DOWN Operation prohibited Operation prohibited -
    UP interlocked with key operation - Operation prohibited Operation prohibited
    DOWN interlocked with key operation - Operation prohibited Operation prohibited
    UP interlocked with wireless operation - Operation prohibited Operation prohibited
    DOWN interlocked with wireless operation - Operation prohibited Operation prohibited

    HINT:

    In case of normal limit switch, prohibition (fail-safe function) will be cancelled by fully opening the door glass of fully closed by manual operation, then AUTO operation will be possible.

  3. USING HAND-HELD TESTER 
    1. Hook up the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Monitor the ECU data by following the prompts on the tester screen.

    HINT:

    Hand-held tester has a "Snapshot" function which records the monitored data.

    Refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.

  4. DTC CLEAR 
    1. The DTC and freeze frame data will be erased by either action.

      Operate the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or hand-held tester to erase the codes. (See the OBD II scan tool's instruction book for operating instructions.)

  5. DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    According to the DATA LIST displayed by the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as a first step of troubleshooting is one of the method to shorten the labor time.

    1. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. According to the display on tester, read the " DATA LIST".

    HINT:

    DTC No. B1221 and B1223 are the codes to inform of each switch condition and will be output when the switch is ON. In that these codes are displayed operating the switch or the switch or the codes are not displayed even with operating the switch, there may be trouble in the switch circuit.

    HINT:

    "1" With the jam protection limit switch ON, the function of the jam protection will stop. If the switch does not come ON at the position where the windows are almost fully open, the windows will not fully close as the jam protection operates at the upper potion during the automatic UP performance.

    HINT:

    The next data list is possible when the power window operated with "Manual UP" during the Active Test.

    POWER WINDOW DIAGNOSIS STANDARD

    Item Measurement Item/Display (Range) Normal condition Diagnostic Note
    GRASS POS-1/4 To monitor the detection of a caught of the P/W / OK or CAUTION (Displayed during the active test) OK: No caught in the range between fully open and 1/4 open "2"
    GRASS POS-2/4 To monitor the detection of a caught of the P/W / OK or CAUTION (Displayed during the active test) OK: No caught in the range between fully 1/4 open and 2/4 open "2"
    GRASS POS-3/4 To monitor the detection of a caught of the P/W / OK or CAUTION (Displayed during the active test) OK: No caught in the range between fully 2/4 open and 3/4 open "2"
    GRASS POS-OPEN To monitor the detection of a caught of the P/W / OK or CAUTION (Displayed during the active test) OK: No caught in the range between fully 3/4 open and open "2"

    HINT:

    "2" In case that the CAUTION is displayed even without applying resistance in each range, there must be a caught somewhere in that range.

  6. ACTIVE TEST 
    1. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. According to the display on tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".
