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.
Power Window Control
One-Touch Down (OTD) power window function allows driver's door window glass to completely lower with one button press. Driver's power window control switch is hardwired to Generic Electronic Module (GEM) and door window regulator and motor. When GEM senses a one-touch down request from driver's power window control switch, GEM supplies a ground to OTD Relay coil. OTD relay then provides power to driver's power window regulator motor, lowering window. OTD feature will function when the ignition switch is in RUN or ACC position. OTD feature also operates while ignition is OFF and accessory delay time-out period has not expired. Power and ground are supplied for driver's front power window operation by GEM. All power and ground for passenger power windows is supplied through power window control switches.
