SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

Scheme 3

Scheme 3: Troubleshooting Procedure
  1. Always perform basic power window system inspection before troubleshooting.
  2. Troubleshooting procedures provide information unique to malfunctions of the automatic window return function.
CAUTIONIf any of the following conditions continues indefinitely, the power window motor will heat up causing the protection circuit (integrated in power window motor) to operate. If this occurs, the operation of the power window motor protection circuit temporarily disables the power windows. Continuous up and down operation of the power window. Continuously pulling up the power window switch while the window glass is fully closed. Continuously pressing the power window switch while the window glass fully opened. A malfunction in the power window system will be determined and the system will shift to malfunction mode if the power windows are operated up or down using the power window switch while the power window protection circuit is operating. While the power window system is in malfunction mode, but they do not operate using the auto open/close function. The power window system reverts to normal operation after performing the Power Window Initialization Procedure.

Note. Initial setting must be performed for the switch of each seat. If the following operations have been performed, initial setting is reset, and auto up/down and two-step down operation are disabled. Therefore, performing initial setting is necessary. Negative battery cable disconnected or power window system power supply fuse removed, (perform initial setting for each door glasses.) Power window switch connector disconnected, (perform initial setting for the switch connected with the connector)

NoReplace the power window switch, then go to the automatic door glass return function inspection.
3Gently press the power window switch while the door glass is moving up in automatic mode. Does the glass stop?YesAutomatic mode function is normal. Go to the automatic door glass return function inspection.
NoReplace the power window switch, then go to the automatic door glass return function inspection.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Automatic Door Glass Return Function Inspection

Note. Perform the following inspection for the power window main switch and the power window subswitches for each window. With the switch held at auto-up, the door glass does not automatically reverse even when a foreign object is encountered.

STEPINSPECTIONACTION
1Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Lower the door glass completely. Use the power window switch to close the door glass in automatic mode. Does the door glass automatically reverse even though the glass does not encounter a foreign object while it is moving up in automatic mode?YesGo to Step 1 of NO. 3 DOOR GLASS REVERSES EVEN THOUGH THE GLASS DOES NOT ENCOUNTER A FOREIGN OBJECT WHILE IT IS MOVING UP IN AUTOMATIC MODE.
NoGo to the next step.
2Lower the door glass completely. Take a hammer and hold it against the inside of the top of the window frame so that the door glass will hit its handle when it is closed. Raise the door glass using automatic mode. When the door glass hits the hammer handle, does it immediately reverse and move down to approx. 200 mm {7.87 in} from the completely closed position?YesAutomatic door glass return function inspection is normal. Go to the IG OFF timer function inspection.
NoGo to Step 1 of NO. 2 DOOR GLASS DOES NOT REVERSE, EVEN WHEN ENCOUNTERING A FOREIGN OBJECT IN ITS PATH.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

IG OFF Timer Function Inspection

STEPINSPECTIONACTION
1Close all doors. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. In automatic mode, push down the power window main switch for the driver-side front door glass. The door glass should move down within approx. 43 s after ignition switch off. In manual mode (finger continuously depressing the power window main switch), the door glass should move down within approx. 43 s after ignition switch off. Does the driver-side front door glass move down?YesGo to the next step.
NoPerform the driver-side power window initialization procedure, and reinspect. (See POWER WINDOW INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE .) If it does not move up and down upon reinspection, inspect the following: Wiring harness for the door open/close signal system Latch switch Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, and reinspect.
