Description

The Power Window System raises and lowers the window glass in each door using electrical power. The compo-
nent parts of this system and their functions are described in the following table.

Parts Name

Function

Theft Deterrent and
Door Lock
Control ECU

Current is sent to the power window main relay only when the ignition switch
is on or within a specified period after the ignition switch is turned off.

Power Window
Main Relay

Current from the theft deterrent and door lock control ECU to the power
window main relay switches large current from the master switch ON and OFF.

Master Switch

This switch turns current to each power window motor ON and OFF and
switches it. It also includes a circuit for ”One Touch Power Window” use of
the driver’s window and a built–in window lock switch which controls the
operation of all power window switches.

Power Window
Switch

This switch is installed on each door except on the driver’s door. It is supplied
with current from the master siwtch and turns the current to the motor ON and
OFF and switches the current. This switch will not operate when the window
lock switch inside the master switch is in the LOCK position.

Power Window
Motor

This motor moves the window regulator directly when current is supplied to it
from the master switch or power window switch. The motor has a built–in
circuit breaker.
