Circuit Operation
With the ignition switch in the ON position, voltage is applied through
the power window circuit breaker to the following switches:
• | LH front power window /door lock switch |
• | RH front power window switch |
• | LH rear remote power window switch |
• | RH rear remote power window switch |
• | LH rear power window switch |
• | RH rear power window switch |
The LH front power window/door lock switch is permanently grounded to
G200.
When the LH front window switch is depressed, the DOWN/AUTO DOWN contacts
close. This allows voltage to be applied to the LH front power door window
motor. The LH front power window motor is grounded through the normally closed
UP contacts of the LH front window switch to G200. With both power and ground
supplied to the motor, the motor turns and opens the window. The motor stops
when one of the following actions occur:
• | The LH front window switch is released. This returns the DOWN/AUTO
DOWN contacts to their normally grounded position. |
• | An electronic circuit breaker (ECB) within the motor will stop
the LH front power window motor when the window is completely open. |
Lift the LH front window switch on order to close the window. This closes
the UP contacts and allows voltage to be applied to the other side of the
LH front power window motor. The LH front power window motor is normally
grounded through the normally closed DOWN/AUTO DOWN contacts of the LH front
window switch to G200. With both power and ground supplied to the motor,
the motor turns and closes the window. The LH front power window motor stops
when one of the following actions occurs:
• | The front window switch is released. This returns the UP contacts
to their normally grounded position. |
• | The window is completely closed. This occurs via an ECB within
the motor. |
The RH front, LH rear and RH rear windows can be operated by two separate
switches:
• | The RH front window switch is located in the LH front power window/door
lock switch. |
• | The RH front power window switch is located on the RH front door. |
• | The RH and LH rear remote power window switches are located in
the center console. |
• | The individual rear switches are located on each rear door. |
Depressing the RH front, LH rear remote or RH rear remote power window
switch closes the DOWN contacts. This allows voltage to be applied through
the appropriate window switch (located on the door) to the window motor.
The window motor is grounded through the appropriate window switch (located
on the door) and the normally closed UP contacts of the depressed switch
to G200. With both power and ground supplied to the motor, the motor turns
and opens the window. The window motor stops whenever one of the following
conditions occurs:
• | The switch is released, which returns the DOWN contacts to their
normally grounded position |
• | The window is completely open. This occurs via an ECB within the
motor. |
In order to close the RH front, LH rear, or RH rear window, lift the
appropriate window switch (in the LH front power window/door lock switch or
the center console). This closes the UP contacts and supplies voltage through
the appropriate window switch (located on the door) to the window motor.
In this case, the window motor grounds through the appropriate window switch
and the normally grounded DOWN contacts of the lifted switch to G200. With
both power and ground supplied to the motor, the motor turns and closes the
window. The motor stops whenever one of the following conditions occurs:
• | The switch is released. This returns the UP contacts to their
normally grounded position. |
• | The window is completely closed. This occurs via an ECB within
the motor. |
The other method of operating the windows is through the window switch
located on the appropriate door. When any one of these switches is depressed
to the DOWN position, the following actions occur:
• | The DOWN contacts of that switch close |
• | voltage is applied directly through that switch to the appropriate
window motor. |
The window motor grounds to G200 through the following components:
• | the normally grounded UP contacts in the other switch |
With both power and ground supplied to the motor, the motor turns and
opens the window. The motor stops when one of the following actions occurs:
• | The switch is released. This returns the DOWN contacts to their
normally grounded position. |
• | The window is completely open. This occurs via an ECB within the
motor. |
Closing the window may be accomplished by lifting the appropriate window
switch. This closes the UP contacts of that switch and applies voltage directly
through the lifted switch to the appropriate motor. The window motor grounds
through the lifted switch and through the normally grounded DOWN contacts
in the other switch to G200. With both power and ground supplied to the motor
the motor begins to turn and close the window. The motor stops whenever
the following actions occur:
• | The switch is released. This returns the UP contacts to their
normally grounded position. |
• | The window is completely closed. This occurs via an ECB within
the motor. |
The LH front power window/door lock switch also contains circuitry for
the AUTO DOWN and WINDOW LOCK features. the AUTO DOWN feature allows the LH
front window to open automatically to the fully open position. When the LH
front window switch is depressed to the AUTO DOWN position, the AUTO DOWN
control circuitry holds the DOWN/AUTO DOWN contacts of the LH front power
window/door lock switch closed. With these contacts closed, the LF front
power window motor will operate in the same manner as described earlier.
Once the window is completely open, the ECB and the control circuitry force
the DOWN/AUTO DOWN contacts open, returning the contacts to their normally
grounded state. The WINDOW LOCK feature allows the RH front, LH rear and
RH rear windows to be locked out. When the window lock switch is depressed,
only the LH front window switch in the LH front power window/door lock switch
is operational.
