5. If repair or adjustment is impossible, replace the door assembly.

POWER WINDOW SAFETY MECHANISM CHECK <DRIVER'S SIDE ONLY>

1. Place an approximately 10 mm (0.39 inch) thick wood board as shown. Then, close the door window glass by one-shot up action of the power window switch.

2. Check that the window glass lowers by about 150 mm (5.9 inches) when it clamps the board.This is called anti-trap function (safety mechanism). If this does not happen, carry out troubleshooting.

3. Check that the window glass continue raising up to the door upmost position without activating the anti-trap function while the switch is kept pulling up (this is called forced closing function).

NOTE: If the anti-trap function (safety mechanism) is activated consecutively 3 times or more, carry out the learning procedures of the power window fully closed position.

POWER WINDOW TIMER FUNCTION CHECK

Check the power window timer as described below. If it does not work, perform troubleshooting.

• Close the door and turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position, and then check that the power windows operate for 30 seconds.
• Close the door and turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position. While the timer is on, open the driver's door or front passenger's door, and check that the timer is cancelled.

POWER WINDOW OPERATING CURRENT CHECK

1. Remove the power window fuse to check that it is normal, and connect a multimeter as shown in the illustration.

2. Raise the power window to measure the current during operation.

Standard value: 7 +- 1 A [Power supply voltage 14.5 +- 0.5 V, at 25ºC (77ºF) ]

NOTE: If the power supply voltage does not meet the standard value, check and repair the generator and the battery.

Then carry out this check again.

3. If the operation current is outside the standard value.

LEARNING PROCEDURES OF THE POWER WINDOW FULLY CLOSED POSITION <DRIVER'S SIDE ONLY>

LEARNING PROCEDURES OF THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION WHEN THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH IS REMOVED, OR THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY IS REMOVED OR REPLACED

1. If the anti-trap function (safety mechanism) is activated consecutively three times or more, the fully closed position that the power window switch has learned will be erased (initialized).

2. Operate the power window switch and fully open the door window glass.

CAUTION The anti-trap function will not activated until the learning procedures of the fully closed position have been completed (because the anti-trap function was reset).

3. Operate the power window switch and fully close the door window glass. The power window activates for 0.7 seconds and stops automatically when the power window switch is pressed once. Repeat this operation until the door window glass fully closes and release the switch once. Then, hold the power window switch to the fully closed side again for one second so that the power window switch completes learning the fully closed position.

NOTE: If the power window switch is operated to open the door window glass while the switch is learning, the learning will be cancelled. If this happens, return to step 2.

LEARNING PROCEDURES WHEN THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH IS REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE

CAUTION The anti-trap function will not activated until the learning procedures of the fully closed position have been completed (because the anti-trap function was reset).

Operate the power window switch to fully close the door window glass by one-shot up action so that the power window switch will complete learning (no initialization is required).
