Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Vehicle Exterior / Window / Glass / Power Window Control System / Auto Up Operation does not Fully Close Power Window (Jam Protection Function is Activated)

DESCRIPTION

If any door glass or a power window regulator motor does not operate smoothly, the jam protection function may be triggered automatically, resulting in the auto up function being unable to fully close the window.

NOTICE:

When a power window regulator motor is reinstalled or replaced, the power window control system must be initialized.
After any door glass or a door glass run has been replaced, the jam protection function may operate unexpectedly when the auto up function is used. In such cases, the auto up function can be resumed by repeating the following operations at least 5 times:
1. Close the power window by fully pulling up the multiplex network master switch or power window regulator switch and holding it at the auto up position.
2. Open the power window by fully pushing down the multiplex network master switch or power window regulator switch.

Then, conduct the following
inspection procedure.
