DOOR GLASS DOES NOT MOVE UP AND DOWN IN AUTOMATIC MODE [POWER WINDOW SYSTEMS (WITH AUTO-OPEN/CLOSE FUNCTION FOR ALL WINDOWS)] [POWER WINDOW SYSTEMS (AUTO-OPEN/CLOSE FUNCTION)]

NOTE:



1

Door glass does not move up and down in automatic mode

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Open circuit or short to power supply in sensor 1 signal, ground signal from wiring harness (between power window switch and power window motor), inner power window switch, or inner motor: Steps 4–7

  • Open circuit or short to power supply/ground in sensor 2 signal from wiring harness (between power window switch and power window motor), inner power window switch, or inner motor: Steps 8–12

NOTE:

  • The automatic function and the IG OFF timer function do not operate while the power window switch is in fail-safe mode. The fail-safe operates when sensor 1, and/or sensor 2, and/or the sensor power supply malfunctions.

  • Sensor 1 and/or 2 malfunction

    • When the door glass is moving up and down, the power window switch cannot sense a pulse signal from sensor 1 during the time it senses 5 pulses (2.5 cycles) from sensor 2.

    • When the door glass is moving up and down, the switch cannot sense a pulse signal from sensor 2 during the time it senses 5 pulses (2.5 cycles) from sensor 1.

    • There are three abnormal pulses in a pulse signal while the door glass is moving up or down.

    • There are 20 cycle pulses from a closed position while the door glass is moving up.

    • There is no pulse signal for 1 s after the door glass is moved down.


Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

INSPECT WHETHER POWER WINDOW SWITCH ENTERS FAIL-SAFE MODE OR NOT
  • Switch the ignition to off (LOCK) for 3 minutes.

  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

  • Initialize the power window system.

  • Operate the auto open/close function.

  • Does the power window operate properly?

Yes

System is normal.

The power window system auto open/close function does not operate temporarily for any of the following reasons:

  • The power window switch is operated while the power window motor protection circuit (integrated in power window motor) is operating.

  • The power window main switch power supply is cut off by disconnection of the negative battery cable or removing the fuse.

No

Go to the next step.

2

VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN POWER WINDOW SWITCH AND POWER WINDOW MOTOR) OR ELSEWHERE
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

  • Inspect the voltage at the following power window switch terminals (sensor 1 signal):

    • Driver-side (at power window main switch): 2D

    • Except driver-side (at suspected door’s power window subswitch): F

  • Is the voltage approx.12 V when the door glass is moving up and down?

Yes

Go to step 7.

No

Go to the next step.

3

VERIFY SENSOR 1 OUTPUT SIGNAL
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

  • Inspect the voltage at the following power window motor terminals B (sensor 1 signal):

  • Is the voltage approx.12 V when the door glass is moving up and down in manual mode?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the power window motor, then go to Step 12.

4

INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN POWER WINDOW SWITCH AND POWER WINDOW MOTOR FOR CONTINUITY
  • Switch the ignition to off (LOCK).

  • Disconnect the power window switch connector.

    • Driver-side:

      • 2D–B (sensor 1 signal)

      • 1I–C (ground signal)

    • Except driver-side:

      • F–B (sensor 1 signal)

      • J–D (sensor power supply)

      • L–C (ground signal)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair the wiring harness between the power window switch and power window motor, then go to Step 12.

5

VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN POWER WINDOW SWITCH AND POWER WINDOW MOTOR) OR POWER WINDOW SWITCH

    • Driver-side

      • 2D (sensor 1 signal)

      • 1I (ground signal)

    • Except driver-side

      • F (sensor 1 signal)

      • L (ground signal)

  • Is the voltage approx.12 V?

Yes

Repair the wiring harness between the power window switch and power window motor, then go to Step 11.

No

Replace the power window switch (open circuit or short to power supply in power window switch).

6

VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN POWER WINDOW SWITCH AND POWER WINDOW MOTOR) OR ELSEWHERE
