  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS


    • In troubleshooting, confirm that the problem symptoms have been accurately identified. Preconceptions should be discarded in order to make an accurate judgment. To clearly understand what the problem symptoms are, it is extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time the malfunction occurred.

    • Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases.

    • The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis:

      What Vehicle model, system name
      When Date, time, occurrence frequency
      Where Road conditions
      Under what conditions? Driving conditions, weather conditions
      How did it happen? Problem symptoms

  3. PRE-CHECK


    1. Measure the battery voltage with the power switch off.

      Standard Voltage
      11 to 14 V

      If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding to the next step.

    2. Check the fuses and relays.

    3. Check the connector connections and terminals to make sure that there are no abnormalities such as loose connections, deformation, etc.

  9. ADJUST, REPAIR OR REPLACE


    1. Check if any of the door window regulators or power window regulator motor assemblies have been removed and reinstalled.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Any of the door window regulators or power window regulator motor assemblies have been removed and reinstalled. A
      None of the door window regulators or power window regulator motor assemblies has been removed and reinstalled. B

  10. INITIALIZE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR


    1. If any of the door window regulators or power window regulator motor assemblies have been removed and reinstalled, perform "Initialize Power Window Control System" (initialization of the pulse sensor) for the applicable door glass Click here.

      Tech Tips

      If "Initialize Power Window Control System" (initialization of the pulse sensor) has not been performed, the auto operation function, jam protection function, key-linked operation function, wireless transmitter-linked operation function and key-off operation function will not operate or will operate incorrectly.
