      2. Set the door glass to the fully closed position.
      3. When 60 seconds have elapsed after the door glass is fully closed, pull the power window switch up once again. Check how long it takes for the current to change from approximately 16 to 34 A into 1 A or less.

        Standard: Approximately 4 to 90 seconds 

      4. When approximately 60 seconds have elapsed after the inspection of the current cut-off, check that the door glass moves down when the power window regulator DOWN switch is pushed.

        If the result is not as specified, replace the motor.
