Description & Operation: Notes

WARNING: Vehicles are equipped with air bag supplemental restraint system. Before attempting any repairs involving steering column, instrument panel or related components, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article.

CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.

CAUTION: Disconnect the window switch connector or the battery when working in the driver's door. You could injure 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.

The power window system is controlled by the power window key-off timer circuit in the integrated control unit. The timer circuit allows the windows to be operated for several minutes after the ignition is turned to LOCK (0 position). This lets you close the windows without turning the ignition to ON (II position) again. Opening either door will turn off the timer circuit.

Power to the windows is controlled by the main switch in the power window master switch. When the main switch is in OFF, only the driver's window can be opened or closed. With the main switch in ON, both power windows can be opened or closed. The driver's window is controlled by the driver's switch in the master panel and the power window control unit. The passenger's window can be controlled by the passenger's switch in the master panel or by the switch in the passenger's door.

Battery voltage is applied at all times through fuse 34 to the power window key-off timer circuit in the integrated control unit and from the battery to the power window relay contacts. With the ignition in ON (II position) or START (III position), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 5 to the power window key-off timer circuit. The timer applies voltage to the coil of the power window relay. The energized relay then supplies battery voltage through fuses 47 and 50 to the master switch, passenger window switch, and power window control unit.

When you turn the ignition to LOCK (0 position), the timer circuit continues to energize the power window relay for several minutes or until one of the doors is opened.
