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.
System Outline
- Manual Down or Up Operation
When the power window master SW is pushed one stop, the motor rotates to open the window.
When the power window master SW is pulled up one step, the motor rotates in the opposite direction, to close the window. All the other windows can be opened/closed as well, by the operation of the power window master SW or respective power window SW.
When the window lock SW is pushed to the lock side, the ground circuit to the passenger's window becomes open. As a result, even if Open/Close operation of the passenger's window is attempted, the current from TERMINAL E of the power window master SW is not grounded and the motor does not rotate, to the passenger's window can not be operated and window lock occurs.
- Auto Down Operation (Driver's Window)
When the power window master SW is pushed two steps, the motor rotates to open the window automatically.
- Stopping of Auto Down Operation (Driver's Window)
Auto operation can be stopped in mid-course with switching power window master SW one step upward during the down operation.
