  5. INSPECT POWER WINDOW MOTOR PTC THERMISTOR OPERATION 
    1. Disconnect the connector from the power window motor.
    2. Connect the ammeter positive (+) lead to terminal 1 on the wire harness side connector and the ammeter negative (-) lead to negative terminal of the battery.
    3. Connect the battery positive (+) lead to terminal 4 on the wire harness side connector, and raise the window to the fully position.

    4. Continue to apply voltage and check that the current changes to less than 1 A within 4 to 90 seconds.
    5. Disconnect the leads from the terminals.
    6. Approximately 60 seconds later, connect the battery positive (+) lead to terminal 1 and the battery negative (-) lead to terminal 4, and check that the window begins to descend.

    If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.

  6. INSPECT JAM PROTECTION LIMIT SWITCH OPERATION 
    1. Connect the ohmmeter positive (+) lead to terminal 2 and the ohmmeter negative (-) lead to terminal 5.
    2. Connect the battery positive (+) lead to terminal 1 and the battery negative (-) lead to terminal 4.
    3. Check that the continuity exists when the window goes up.

  8. INSPECT JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION 
    NOTE: Be careful that any part of your body is not to be caught when checking.

    HINT:

    In the case of resetting the limit switch, perform checking after repeating up and down of the glass with automatic operation.

    1. Confirmation of AUTO up operation:

      Confirm that the window to be fully closed with AUTO up operation.

    2. Checking of the operation of the jam protection function:
      1. Move up the window with AUTO up operation and check that the window goes down when it touches the handle of the hammer handle.
      2. Confirm that the window stops going down at about 200 mm.

    HINT:

    In the case of removing the glass, glass guide, regulator and etc., be sure to perform checking on the jam protection function. If the jam protection does not function properly, adjust the power window motor reset switch and the pulse switch.
