Power Window Safety Mechanism Check - Driver's Side Door
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Place an approximately 10 mm (0.4 inches)-thick wood board as shown. Then, close the door window glass by one-shot up action of the power window switch.
- Check that the window glass lowers by about 150 mm(5.9 inches) when it clamps the board. This is called anti-trap function (safety mechanism). If this does not happen, carry out troubleshooting (Refer to TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART < POWER WINDOW > ).
- Check that the window glass continue raising up to the door upmost position without activating the anti-trap function while the switch is kept pulling up (this is called forced closing function).
NOTE: If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for power window is removed, carry out the learning procedures of the power window fully closed position (Refer to LEARNING PROCEDURES OF POWER WINDOW FULLY CLOSED POSITION < DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR > ).
