Safety Warning
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.
Door Module: Operation: Anti-Pinch
The "Anti-Pinch" function is a safety feature that senses obstacles at the top of the glass and anywhere on the seal where it meets the glass to close during the window closing operation. When a front window switch is pressed to the "Auto-Up" position and the closing window traps an object and the sense current passes its limit, the module will stop the motor and drive the window down approximately 200 millimeters. The pinch force is speed dependent which means that if the vehicle is going over 2km per hour the pinch force will be higher than if the vehicle is stopped.
