  1. CHECK WINDOW LOCK SWITCH Check that the front passenger side power window and rear power windows operation are disabled when the window lock switch of the power window master switch is pressed. Standard Front passenger side power window and rear power windows operation are disabled. Check that the front passenger side power window and rear power windows can be operated when the window lock switch is pressed again. Standard Front passenger side power window and rear power windows can be operated.
  2. CHECK MANUAL UP/DOWN FUNCTION Check that the driver side power window operates as follows: Standard Condition Master Switch Switch Operation Power Window Engine switch on (IG) Driver side Pulled halfway up UP (Closed) Pushed halfway down DOWN (Open) Check that the power windows except the driver side power window operate as follows: Standard Condition Switch Switch Operation Power Window Engine switch on (IG) Window lock switch OFF Passenger side Pulled up UP (Closed) Pushed down DOWN (Open) Rear LH Pulled up UP (Closed) Pushed down DOWN (Open) Rear RH Pulled up UP (Closed) Pushed down DOWN (Open)
  3. CHECK AUTO UP/DOWN FUNCTION Check that the driver side power window operates as follows: Standard Condition Master Switch Switch Operation Power Window Engine switch on (IG) Driver side Pulled up fully UP (Closed) Pushed down fully DOWN (Open) Check that the power windows except the driver side power window operate as follows: Standard Condition Switch Switch Operation Power Window Engine switch on (IG) Window lock switch OFF Passenger side Pulled up UP (Closed) Pushed down DOWN (Open) Rear LH Pulled up UP (Closed) Pushed down DOWN (Open) Rear RH Pulled up UP (Closed) Pushed down DOWN (Open)
  4. CHECK REMOTE MANUAL UP/DOWN FUNCTION Check that the power windows except the driver side power window operate as follows: Standard Condition Master Switch Switch Operation Power Window Engine switch on (IG) Window lock switch OFF Passenger side Pulled up UP (Closed) Pushed down DOWN (Open) Rear LH Pulled up UP (Closed) Pushed down DOWN (Open) Rear RH Pulled up UP (Closed) Pushed down DOWN (Open)

  6. CHECK JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION NOTE: The jam protection function can activate when either the AUTO UP function or MANUAL UP function is used. Limbs, fingers or other body parts should not be used to test the jam protection function. Do not allow any body parts to get caught by the moving window or regulator. HINT: The jam protection function can activate when either the AUTO UP function or MANUAL UP function are used with the engine switch on (IG). The jam protection function can also activate as long as the driver's door remains closed, within 45 seconds after the engine switch is turned off. Check the reversing distance. Fully open the door glass. Place a check jig measuring 4 to 10 mm (0.16 to 0.40 in.) thick near the window fully closed position. When the door glass is closed using AUTO or MANUAL operation, check that the door glass goes down after contacting the check jig. The glass should go 200 to 240 mm (7.90 to 9.44 in.) away from the position where it contacted the check jig. While the door glass is going down, verify that the window switch cannot be used to make the glass go up. Check the reversing distance. Fully open the door glass. Place a check jig measuring 200 to 250 mm (7.90 to 9.84 in.) thick near the window fully closed position. When the door glass is closed using AUTO or MANUAL operation, check that the door glass goes down after contacting the check jig. The door glass should go 80 to 100 mm away from the position where it contacted the check jig. While the door glass is going down, verify that the window switch cannot be used to make the glass go up.

  1. DESCRIPTION The power window control system data can be read from the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use Techstream to check for malfunctions and perform repairs.
  2. CHECK DLC3 The ECU uses ISO 15765-4 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format. Symbols (Terminal No.) Terminal Description Condition Specified Condition SIL (7) - SG (5) Bus "+" line During transmission Pulse generation CG (4) - Body ground Chassis ground Always Below 1 ohms SG (5) - Body ground Signal ground Always Below 1 ohms BAT (16) - Body ground Battery positive Always 10 to 14 V CANH (6) - CANL (14) CAN bus line Engine switch OFF* 54 to 69 ohms CANH (6) - CG (4) HIGH-level CAN bus line Engine switch OFF* 200 ohms or more CANL (14) - CG (4) LOW-level CAN bus line Engine switch OFF* 200 ohms or more CANH (6) - BAT (16) HIGH-level CAN bus line Engine switch OFF* 6 kohms or more CANL (14) - BAT (16) LOW-level CAN bus line Engine switch OFF* 6 kohms or more NOTE: *: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any other switches or the door. If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector. HINT: Connect the cable of Techstream to the DLC3, turn the engine switch on (IG) and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester. If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle. If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.
  3. CHECK DIAGNOSIS (WITH JAM PROTECTION) HINT: If there is a malfunction in the pulse sensor, manually operating the power window switch will cause the power window switch light to blink. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Manually operate the power window master switch or power window switch on each door. Check the blinking pattern of the AUTO light as shown in the illustration. If pattern (A) is displayed, check the wire harness or power window ECU. If pattern (B) is displayed, check the power window regulator motor or power window ECU. If the normal pattern is displayed, replace the power window regulator master switch.

DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. CHECK DTC Connect Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Check the DTC(s).
  2. CLEAR DTC Connect Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Clear the DTCs. Check that "DTCs are cleared" is displayed. NOTE: If any DTCs are output, troubleshoot those DTCs again.

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

  1. USING TECHSTREAM Connect Techstream to the DLC3. Monitor the ECU data by following the prompts on the tester screen. HINT: Techstream has a "Snapshot" function which records the monitored data. Refer to Techstream operator's manual for further details.
  2. DATA LIST HINT: Using the Data List displayed on Techstream, the value of the switches, sensors, actuators, etc. can be read without part removal. Reading the Data List as the first step in troubleshooting is one way to shorten the labor time. Connect Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Read the Data List according to the display on the tester.

  3. ACTIVE TEST HINT: Performing the Active Test using Techstream allows you to operate the relay, VSV, actuator, etc. without parts removal. Performing the Active Test as the first step in troubleshooting is one way to shorten the labor time. It is possible to display the Data List during the Active Test. Connect Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Perform the Active Test according to the display on the tester.
