The driver's window will stop and automatically open if you pinch your hand or something during auto-up operation.
The system is composed of the power window master switch, the power window control unit and the driver's window

motor.

The power window motor incorporates a pulser which generates pulses during the motor's operation and sends the puls-

es to the power window control unit. As soon as the power window control unit detects no pulses from the pulser, the
control unit makes the power window motor stop and reverse.

2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Remove the No. 41 (20 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) on for 2 seconds, then turn it OFF. Reinstall the NO. 41 (20 A) fuse in the under-hood

fuse/relay box.

5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
6. Make sure the driver's window does not work in AUTO with the ignition switch ON (II).

CAUTION: When the motor stops running, discon-

nect one lead immediately.

4. If the motor does not run or fails to run smoothly,

replace it.

Pulser Test:

5. Reconnect the 6P connector to the window motor.

6. Check for voltage between the terminals.

• There should be battery voltage between the No.

6 (+) and No. 4 (-) terminals when the ignition
switch is ON (II).

• Connect the an analog voltmeter between the

No. 5 (+) and No. 4 (-) terminals, and run the

window motor down or up. The voltmeter needle
should move back and forth alternately.

• Connect the an analog voltmeter between the

No. 3 (+) and No. 4 (-) terminals, and run the

Control Unit Input Test

1. Remove the driver's door panel, and disconnect the 18P connector from the control unit.

2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.

• If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
• If the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the connector.

— If a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
— If all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it.
