  8. CHECK POWER WINDOW OPERATION FUNCTION AFTER IGNITION OFF 
    1. When both of the following conditions are fulfilled, check that the door glasses, the back door glass and the sliding roof can be operated even after the ignition switch is turned OFF:
      1. Within 45 seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
      2. All the doors are closed.
  9. CHECK JAM PROTECTION 

    HINT:

    The jam protection function prevents any part of your body from getting caught by accident between the door frame and the door glass during power window operation.

    1. Check that the door glass goes down by approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) right when something gets caught between the door frame and the door glass during power window operation. However, when the opening between the door frame and the door glass is less than 200 mm (7.9 in.), the door glass keeps going down until the opening reaches 200 mm (7.9 in.) and stops there.

  11. CHECK SWITCH CONDITION WITH HAND-HELD TESTER 

    HINT:

    DTC B1221 is output when switches of the power window master switch are on. When these switches are off, DTC B1221 is not output. Using this DTC, you can check whether these switches are normal or not.

  12. CHECK DATA LIST WITH HAND-HELD TESTER 

    HINT:

    According to the DATA LIST displayed by the hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator, etc. without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one way to shorten labor time.

    HINT:

    *CAUTION is displayed even when no resistance is applied in each position. In this case there must be something caught somewhere in that position.

  13. CHECK ACTIVE TEST WITH HAND-HELD TESTER 

    HINT:

    Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand-held tester allows you to operate the relay, VSV, actuator, etc. without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of trouble shooting is one way to shorten labor time. It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.
