DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Power Windows System Description: Control/Function
Basic Control/FunctionÂ
- Manual Up/Down Function
The 1-step operation of the power window switch moves the window up or down. This is available during the vehicle in the ON mode or the vehicle OFF operation.
- Auto Up/Down Function
The 2-step operation of the power window switch moves the window up or down. This is available during the vehicle in the ON mode or the vehicle OFF operation.
Auto Reverse Power Window FunctionÂ
When some object is detected during the AUTO UP operation, the window stops closing and reverses about 70 mm (2.76 in). If the window is less than halfway opened (about 220 mm (8.66 in)), it will reverse to half open position (about 220 mm (8.66 in)). In manual operation, this function is active only during the vehicle OFF operation. This function is activated based on the calculation of the rotation speed and load change of the motor's pulse A.
Vehicle OFF OperationÂ
For about 10 minutes after the vehicle is turned to the OFF (LOCK) mode, the window's open/close operation with the power window switches is available.
