FRONT POWER WINDOW LH ANTI-PINCH SYSTEM

System Description

MAIN POWER WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK SWITCH INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART

POWER WINDOW OPERATION

• Power window system is activated by the power window switch when the ignition switch is in the ON position or during the retained power operation after ignition switch is turned OFF.
• Main power window and door lock/unlock switch can open/close all windows.
• Front & rear power window switches can open/close the corresponding windows.
• Power window lock switch can lock all power windows other than driver seat.
• If door glass receives resistance that is more than the specified value and the power window is in the AUTOUP operation (Front LH), power window will move in the reverse direction (Anti-Pinch Function).

POWER WINDOW AUTO-OPERATION (FRONT LH)

• AUTO UP/DOWN operation can be performed when main power window and door lock/unlock switch turns to AUTO.
• Encoder continues detecting the movement of power window motor and transmits to main power window and door lock/unlock switch as the encoder pulse signal while power window motor is operating.
• Main power window and door lock/unlock switch reads the changes of encoder signal and stops AUTO operation when door glass is at fully opened/closed position.
• Power window motor is operable in case encoder is malfunctioning.

RETAINED POWER OPERATION

• Retained power operation is an additional power supply function that enables power window system to operate during the 45 seconds even when ignition switch is turned OFF

Retained power function cancel conditions

• Front door CLOSE (door switch OFF)→OPEN (door switch ON).
• When ignition switch is ON.
• When timer time passes. (45 seconds)
• AUTO function does not operate if encoder is malfunctioning.

POWER WINDOW LOCK FUNCTION

Ground circuit inside main power window and door lock/unlock switch shuts off when power window lock switch is ON. This inhibits power window switch operation except with the main power window and door lock/ unlock switch.

ANTI-PINCH OPERATION (FRONT LH)

• Pinch foreign material in the door glass during AUTO-UP operation, and it is the anti-pinch function that lowers the door glass 150mm. (5.9 in.) or 2 seconds when detected.
• Encoder continues detecting the movement of power window motor and transmits to main power window and door lock/unlock switch as the encoder pulse signal while power window motor is operating.
• Resistance is applied to the power window motor rotation that changes the frequency of encoder pulse signal if foreign material is trapped in the door glass.
• Power window switch controls to lower the window glass form 150mm (5.9 in.) or 2 seconds after it detects encoder pulse signal frequency change.

OPERATION CONDITION

• When door glass AUTO-UP operation is performed (anti-pinch function does not operate just before the door glass closes and is fully closed)

NOTE:

Depending on environment and driving conditions, if a similar impact or load is applied to the door glass, it may lower.

Fail-safe

FAIL-SAFE CONTROL

Switches to fail-safe control when malfunction is detected in the encoder signal that detects UP/DOWN speed and direction of door glass. Switches to fail-safe control when an error beyond the regulation value is detected between the fully closed position and the actual position of the glass.

It changes to condition before initialization and the following functions do not operate when switched to failsafe control:

• Auto-up operation
• Anti-pinch function
• Retained power function

Perform initial operation to recover when switched to fail-safe mode. However, it switches back to fail-safe control when malfunction is found in power window switch or in motor.
