Description & Operation

CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with Engine Control Unit, when the battery has been disconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the ECU relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more to relearn the strategy.

Main switch (master switch) on the driver's door controls all windows. A sub-switch on the passenger's door operates only the passenger side window. A permanent magnet motor moves each power window up and down. The direction the motor turns depends on the polarity of the supply voltage. With the ignition switch in the ON position, voltage is applied to the Power Windows Circuit, fuse No. 3 (10A) in the fuse panel (passenger compartment junction block). See Figure .

Power then travels to the master switch in driver's door armrest, then to passenger sub-switch. Each motor is protected by a built in circuit breaker. If a window switch is held on too long with the window obstructed or after the window is fully up or down, the circuit breaker opens the circuit. The circuit breaker resets automatically as it cools. Do not allow frequent or consecutive resetting of the circuit breaker to continue. The power window motor and gearbox assembly cannot be repaired. If faulty, the entire assembly must be replaced.

A One-Touch Module for its One-Touch Driver's Side Window feature is built into the master switch. With the ignition switch in the accessory position, depress (tap) on the driver's side window switch in the down position for less than 0.4 seconds. The window will continue downward until the window is fully lowered. The driver can turn off this automatic feature by depressing (tapping) the driver's side window switch in the down position. Momentarily depress the switch again in either the up or down position and this will shut off the automatic down feature. With the window in the fully up position depress the driver's side window for more that 0.5 seconds and the window will move downward until the switch is released. The master switch on driver's door also uses a power cut switch to prevent operation of windows. When power cut switch is in ON position, windows can be operated by main switch or sub-switch.
