Express Down Operation

Vehicles equipped with the express down function incorporate an auto down module in the power window master switch. The auto down module senses the operation of the LF window switch and controls voltage and ground availability to the power window up and down circuits.

When the LF power window switch is held in the down position for more then 1 second, the auto down module supplies voltage to the power window down circuit continuously until the power window reaches the bottom of its travel. At this point, the auto down module senses an over current situation on the power window down circuit and interrupts the voltage supply. If the LF power window switch is actuated less then 1 second, the operation is the same except the power window down circuit will be interrupted when the switch is released.
