WINDOW / GLASS: POWER WINDOW CONTROL SYSTEM: OPERATION CHECK; 2013 MY FR-S [03/2012 -]

1. CHECK WINDOW LOCK SWITCH

HINT
Before performing the window lock switch operation check, make sure that the window lock switch is off (the switch is not pushed in).

(a) Check that the front passenger side window cannot be operated from each power window regulator switch assembly when the window lock switch of the power window regulator master switch assembly is pushed in.

OK:

Front passenger side window is disabled.

HINT
Even when the window lock switch of the power window regulator master switch assembly is pushed in, remote manual up and down and auto up and down functions can be operated.

(b) Check that the front passenger side window can be operated from power window regulator switch assembly (front passenger side) when the window lock switch of the power window regulator master switch assembly is pushed in again.

OK:

Front passenger side window operates normally.

2. CHECK MANUAL UP / DOWN FUNCTION

(a) Check that the driver side power window operates as follows:

OK





(b) Check that the front passenger side window operates as follows:

OK





3. CHECK AUTO UP / DOWN FUNCTION

(a) Check that the driver side power window operates as follows:

OK





(b) Check that the front passenger side window operates as follows:

OK





4. CHECK REMOTE MANUAL UP / DOWN FUNCTION

(a) Check that the front passenger side window operates as follows:

OK





5. CHECK REMOTE AUTO UP / DOWN FUNCTION

(a) Check that the front passenger side window operates as follows:

OK





6. CHECK POWER WINDOW OPERATION FUNCTION AFTER IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED OFF

(a) Check that all the power windows can be operated with the power widow regulator master switch assembly and power window regulator switch assembly after the ignition switch is turned off.

HINT
If the window lock switch is on, the power windows cannot be operated besides the driver door power window. Therefore, turn the window lock switch off before checking the window operation.

(b) Check that the key-off operation function does not operate after the driver side door or front passenger side door is opened immediately.

HINT
If the driver side door or front passenger side door is opened during automatic window operation while the key-off operation function is on, the window will stop operating.

(c) Check that all the power windows cannot be operated after more than approximately 45 seconds have elapsed since the ignition switch was turned off. However, if the jam protection function is still operating after 45 seconds have elapsed, the power windows continue operation until the jam protection function completes.

7. CHECK JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION

(a) Check the basic function.

CAUTION:
Do not put your fingers between the door frame and door glass to check the jam protection function. Also, prevent any part of your body from being caught during inspection.

HINT
The jam protection function is operative during both the auto up and manual up operations while the engine is running or the ignition switch is ON, and also 45 sec. have elapsed after the ignition switch is turned off.

(1) Fully open the window.

(2) Set an approximately 12 cm (4.72 in) thick block of expanded polystyrene or the like near the window fully closed position.









(3) Operate the auto up or manual up function to check that the power window goes down after the thick block is caught between the window and door frame, and stops when the opening reaches approximately 200 mm (7.87 in.).

HINT
The power window moves down approximately 50 mm (1.97 in.). However, when the opening does not reach 200 mm (7.87 in.), the power window continues to go down until the opening reaches 200 mm (7.87 in.) or until approximately 10 seconds elapse.

(4) While the power window is moving down, check that the door glass cannot be raised when the power window switch is used.

8. INSPECT INDEX FUNCTION

(a) Open the driver side door or front passenger side door, and then check that the window glass whose door has just been opened descends approximately 20 mm (0.787 in.) automatically from the fully closed position.

(b) Close the driver side door or front passenger side door, and then check that the window glass whose door is just closed ascends automatically to the fully closed position.

HINT
The index control is not performed if the window glass opened more than approximately 20 mm (0.787 in.) from the fully-closed position. However, considering the backlash on the regulator, if the window opened more than approximately 20 mm (0.787 in.) because of the index control that caused the window glass to descend and there is no interruption from any other operation, then the window ascends automatically.

9. CHECK POWER WINDOW SWITCH LED ILLUMINATION

(a) Check the LED illumination (power window regulator master switch assembly).

(1) Check that the LEDs located on the power window regulator master switch assembly illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to ON.

(b) Check the LED illumination (power window regulator switch assembly).

(1) Check that the LEDs located on the power window regulator switch assembly illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to ON.
