Power Window Control System (W/ Jam Protection Function) -- System Description



POWER WINDOW CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The power window control system controls the power windows' UP / DOWN function using the regulator motors.
The main controls of this system are: the power window regulator master switch, which is built into the driver side door, and the power window regulator switches, which are built into the front passenger side door and rear doors. Pressing the regulator switch or any of the switches on the master switch transmits an UP / DOWN signal to the corresponding power window regulator motor.
The jammed window detection mechanism consists of a magnet on the worm gear of the power window motor and the Hall ICs on the connector.

FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT
