BODY ± Door42-27
Inspection Procedure 8
When the glass is fully raised, it then lowers
automatically.

When the window is within 12 mm of being fully closed, the limit switch turns off
to prevent the window from being lowered. However, the above problem can occur
if there is a malfunction of the limit switch or a short-circuit in a harness.
