POWER WINDOW SWITCH

Refer to COMPONENT INDEX .

The power window control switches receive power from the BCM.

The power windows are controlled by a window/lock switch on the trim panel of each front door. Switches in the driver door window/lock switch allows the driver to control the passenger windows. The power window switches control the battery and ground feeds to the power window motors. All passenger door power window switches receive their battery and ground feeds through the circuitry of the master window/lock switch on the drivers door panel. When the power window lockout switch is enabled, the battery feed for the rear door power window switches is interrupted.

Window switch output:

  • If the button is pressed for between 60 and 300 milliseconds, operation is manual: the glass goes up/down only with the button pressed.
  • For vehicle equipped with the Auto-Up/Down feature, when the button is pressed for longer than 300 milliseconds, operation is automatic: even if the button is released, the glass continues to go up/down until the end of travel or the implementation of the anti-crush safety system if fitted.
  • Pressing the button again while the window is moving stops it in the position that it is in.
  • If the button is pressed for less than 60 milliseconds, this is ignored (it is treated as an accidental knock).

The power window switch, when activating a passenger window, sends a Local Interface Network (LIN) bus message to the BCM. The BCM actuates the passenger window motor.

If the Auto-Up/Down feature needs to be learned or relearned. Refer to AUTO-UP/DOWN RELEARN PROCEDURE .
