  5. CHECK POWER WINDOW OPERATION FUNCTION AFTER POWER SWITCH IS TURNED OFF 
    1. Check that all the power windows can be operated with the power window regulator master switch assembly and power window regulator switch assemblies (for front passenger door, rear LH and RH doors) after the power switch is turned off.

      HINT: 

      If the window lock switch is on, the power windows cannot be operated at the same time as the driver side power window. Therefore, turn the window lock switch off before checking the window operation.

    2. Check that the key-off operation function does not operate after the driver side or front passenger door is opened immediately.

      HINT: 

      If the driver door or front passenger door is opened during automatic window operation while the key-off operation function is on, the window will stop operating.

    3. Check that all the power windows cannot be operated after more than approximately 45 seconds have elapsed since the power switch was turned off.
  6. CHECK JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION 
    1. Check the basic function.
      WARNING:
      • The jam protection function is operative during both the auto up and manual up operation.
      • Do not put your fingers between the door frame and door glass to check functions. Also, prevent any parts of your body from being caught during inspection.

      HINT: 

      The jam protection function operates during both the auto up and manual up operations while the power switch is on (IG), and also for 45 seconds after the power switch was turned off.

      1. Fully open the driver side power window.
      2. Set a check jig wrapped with a piece of cloth near the window fully closed position.

        *1 Check Jig
        *2 Cloth
      3. Operate the auto up or manual up function to check that the power window goes down before the check jig is caught between the window and door frame, and stops when the opening reaches approximately 200 mm (7.87 in.).

        HINT: 

        The power window moves down approximately 50 mm (1.97 in.). However, when the opening does not reach 200 mm (7.87 in.), the power window continues to go down until the opening reaches 200 mm (7.87 in.) or until approximately 5 seconds have elapsed.

      4. While the power window is moving down, check that the door glass cannot be moved up even when the power window regulator master switch is used.
  7. CHECK POWER WINDOW REGULATOR MASTER SWITCH LED ILLUMINATION 
    1. Check the LED illumination (power window regulator master switch assembly).
