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.
Panic Mode
If the window switch is held in the "Auto-Up" position and the closing window traps an object, the module will stop the motor and when the switch is released will drive the window in the opposite direction approximately 10 millimeters. If within 8 seconds after the switch was released to the neutral position, the switch is held again to the "Auto-Up" position, the module will enter the second panic mode. During the second panic mode, the module will drive the motor with full (stall) force and stop. If within 8 seconds after the switch is released again to the neutral position, the switch is held again to the "Auto-Up" position, the module will drive the motor again with full (stall) force and stop.
