Montero V6-3.8L SOHC (2005)
Forgotten key prevention function
-
If the driver's door is open (door switch turned ON), when the key is inserted in the ignition switch (key reminder switch turned OFF), the
ETACS-ECU activates the door unlock relay for 0.5 second to prevent the door from being locked.
-
If you try to lock either the driver's or passenger's door when the passenger's door is open (door switch turned ON) and the key is inserted in the
ignition switch (key reminder switch turned OFF), the ETACS-ECU prevents the doors from being locked by activating the door unlock relay for
0.5 second.
POWER WINDOW RELAY CONTROL
Power window relay operation
If the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the power window relay is energized to activate the power windows.
Power window timer function
When the ignition switch is turned from the "ON" position to "LOCK" (OFF) or "ACC" position, the power windows can be operated for 30 seconds. If
any door is opened for the 30 seconds, the power windows will be immobilized at that point.
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
If the RKE transmitter "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" switch is pressed while the ignition key is removed, the doors can be locked or unlocked. If the doors are
closed, the hazard warning lights, the dome light and the horn will operate due to answerback function. Because of the answerback function, the hazard
warning lights flash twice, and the horn sounds once, the dome light flashes twice when the doors are locked. Meanwhile, when the doors are unlocked,
the hazard warning lights flash and the dome light illuminates for 15 seconds. The hazard and the horn answerback functions can be cancelled by using
the RKE transmitter.
SUNROOF
Sunroof operation
-
All of the slide open/close, tilt up/down, and stop operations can be performed by a single switch.
-
When the roof lid glass is tilted up, the sunshade opens approximately 98 mm (3.9 inches) in combined operation with the roof lid glass for better
ventilation.
-
A jam preventing mechanism has been adopted. When a slide-close or tilt-down operation is blocked by an external force, the roof lid glass moves
back and stops.
-
The electronic sunroof system cannot be operated manually. The sunroof wrench that was used in previous models is not provided. If the anti-jam
mechanism reverses the sunroof five or more times consecutively due to deformation or other problem with the sunroof components, it deactivates
and allows the sunroof to make small movements [30 mm (1.2 inches)] until it closes completely.
Sunroof timer function
When the ignition switch is turned from "ON" position to "LOCK" (OFF) or "ACC" position, the sunroof can be operated for thirty seconds. If any
door is opened for the 30 seconds, the sunroof will be immobilized at that point.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS Windshield
low-speed (and high-speed) wiper operation
-
If the windshield low-speed wiper switch is turned to the ON position with the ignition switch at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the column switch
sends a low-speed wiper ON and high-speed wiper OFF signals to the front-ECU. This turns the wiper signal on and the wiper speed control relay
off (low-speed), causing the wipers to operate at low-speed.
-
If the windshield high-speed wiper switch is turned to the ON position, the column switch sends a low-speed wiper OFF and high-speed wiper ON
signals to the front-ECU. This turns both the wiper signal and the wiper speed control relay on (high-speed), causing the wipers to operate at
high-speed.
NOTE: The windshield wiper speed is changed by wiper speed control relay incorporated in front-ECU. When the wiper speed control relay is at "ON"
position, the windshield wiper operates at high-speed, and the wiper speed control relay is at "OFF" position, the windshield wiper operates at low-speed.
Windshield intermittent wiper operation
The ETACS-ECU calculates the wiper operation interval according to the voltage signal sent from the column switch. Then the ETACS-ECU sends a
signal to the front-ECU. The front-ECU determines the wiper operation interval and turns on the wiper relay signal relay. This causes the wiper auto stop
relay to turn on. Then the wiper auto stop relay will turn off after the wipers reach the park position. This causes the wiper signal relay and then the
wipers to turn off. If the wiper signal relay remains off for the wiper operation interval, the relay turns on again, causing the wipers to operate in
intermittent mode.
Windshield mist wiper operation
