Power Windows (contd)
- How the Circuit Works
CAUTION: You could iniure your arms, hands, or
fingers if you unintentionally switch the driver's
window to "automatic down" while working in
that door with the power on. Disconnect the
window switch conneclot or the battery when
working in the driver's door.
System Description
The operation of the power windows is controlled by
the main switch in the power window master switch.
When the main switch is in OFF, only the driver's door
window can be opened or closed. With the main
switch ON, all windows can be ooened or closed
either by swtches in the master panel, or swttches in
the doors. The driver's window switch also has an
automatic down mode which is tumed on by pushing
the switch down to its second oosition.
The power windows are driven by reversible motors.
Each motor is protect€d by a built-in circuit breaker.
lf the window switch is held on too long (with the
window obstructed, or after the window is fully up or
down), the circuit breaker opens the circuit. The
circuit breaker resets automaticallv as it cools.
Driver's Window
With the ignition switch in ON, voltage is provided to
the coil of the power window relay through fus€ 24.
The contacts of the power window relay close, and
voltage is applied to the driver's switch. When you
push the power window master switch to UP, voltage
is applied to the driver's window motor. (The motor's
ground path is back through the master power
window switch.) The driver's window motor then
drives the window up. When you push the switch to
DOWN, voltage is applied in the opposite direction
and the motor drives the window down.
Automatic Down (Driver's Window)
With the ignition switch in ON or START, voltage is
applied to the coil of the power window relay. The
contacts of the power window relay close and
voltage is applied lo the power window master
switch. When you push the driveas switch to the
AUTO DOWN position, voltage is applied through
the driver's switch to the driver's window motor. The
control unit receives pulses at the pulser input while
the motor is running. When the window is fully
down, the motor stops, and pulses are no longer
generated by the pulser. This is sensed by the
control unit at the pulser input, and voltage is no
longer applied to the driver's window motor.
Passenger Windows
With the ignition switch in ON, voltage is applied to
the coil of the power window relay through fuse 24.
The contacts of the power window relay then close,
applying voltage to the individual window switches
and the power window master switch. With the
master panel main switch ON, the passenger
windows can be ooerated from the individual
window switches or from tho master panel switches.
When you push the front passengsr's window
switch to UP, voltage is applied to the f ront
passenger's window motor. (The motor is grounded
through the contacts in the front passenger's
window switch and the oower window master
switch.) The window moves up as long as you hold
the switch in the UP position. lf you push the switch
to DOWN, voltage is applied in th€ opposite
direction to the front passenger's window motor, and
the window movss down as long as you hold the
switch in the DOWN Dosition. The window switches
in the other doors operate similarly.
When you push the front passenger's switch in the
master panel to UP, voltage is applied through the
front passenger's window switch contacts to the
front passengefs window motor. (The motor is
grounded through the contacts in the front
passenger's window switch and the power window
master switch.) The window moves up as long as
you hold the switch in the UP position. lf you push
the switch to DOWN, voltage is applied in the
opposite direction to lhe front passenger's window
motor, and the window moves down as long as you
hold the switch in the DOWN position. The other
passenger window switches in the master panel
operate similarly.
