POWER WINDOW CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The power window control system controls the power window UP/DOWN function by using regulator motors. This system is mainly controlled by the master switch built into the driver's door and regulator switches built into passenger's door. Pressing any of these regulator switches or the driver side door window switch mounted on the master switch transmits an UP/DOWN signal to the regulator motor for the corresponding power window, which then operates the power window UP/DOWN. Pressing any switch for the power windows except the driver's power window mounted on the master switch transmits a remote UP/DOWN signal to the front passenger power window switch via the direct line.
The power window control system has the following functions:
| Function | Outline |
|---|---|
| Manual up-and-down function | Function that causes window to go up while power window switch is being pulled halfway up and to go down while pushed halfway down. Window stops as soon as the switch is released. |
| Jam protection function | Function that automatically stops power window and moves it downward if a foreign object gets jammed in door window during auto-up operation. |
| Remote control function | Function that allows power window master switch to control MANUAL up-and-down operation of front passenger door window. |
| Key-off operation function | Function that makes it possible to operate power window for approximately 45 seconds after ignition switch is turned to ACC or LOCK position, if either front door is not opened. |
| Fail-safe | A fail-safe function to disable a part of power window functions if pulse sensor in power window motor has a malfunction:

CHECK JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION
Tech Tips
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.
Note
If the power window motor has just been reset, raise and lower the door glass several times using MANUAL function before performing the check.
Check that the door glass goes down by approx. 50 mm (1.97 in.) right when something gets caught between the door frame and door glass during power window operation. However, when the opening between the door frame and the door glass is less than 200 mm (7.87 in.), the door glass continues to go down and does not stop until an opening of 200 mm (7.87 in.) is achieved. Operative conditions:
AUTO UP
AUTO UP function after the ignition switch is turned off
MANUAL UP function after the ignition switch is turned off
MANUAL UP function using the driver side door lock key cylinder
